Influenza A H1N1 Virus
If You Get Sick
Do not come to work and Infect your co-workers!
If you live in areas that have reported cases and become ill with influenza-like symptoms, including fever, body aches, runny nose, sore throat, nausea, or vomiting or diarrhea, you may want to contact their health care provider, particularly if you are worried about your symptoms. Your health care provider will determine whether influenza testing or treatment is needed. What Should I Do if I Get Sick?
If you are sick, you should stay home and avoid contact with other people as much as possible to keep from spreading your illness to others.
