(January 2010) With the beginning of the New Year, we are reminded that it also is the traditional season for colds and the flu. While some of our colleagues experienced the H1N1 flu first-hand late last year, we know more cases are likely to develop. To help you stay healthy, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
Take precautions: Wash hands, cover your cough in your sleeve, and stay home if you are sick (CDC recommendations). Dispensers full of hand sanitizer sheets and lotion are available throughout UC Denver buildings, classrooms and office locations on both of our campuses.
Support “flu buddies” among students. Faculty should mention this to students.
