COCC
has received reports of confirmed cases of the H1N1 flu. Our
instructions to students, faculty and staff remain the same:
- Wash hands frequently with soap and warm water or use waterless alcohol based hand sanitizer (located in all college buildings.)
- Cover your mouth by coughing or sneezing into a tissue or your sleeve and not your hands.
- Stay home when you are ill
and experiencing a fever of higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit or have
chills AND have a cough or sore throat. Stay home until you have been
free of a fever for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing
medication. If you do miss classes be sure to notify your instructors before the class.
- Get a flu shot when they become available.
