The flu season has started. Humber encourages our staff, students and visitors to practice flu prevention techniques.
Influenza, the "flu", is a contagious respiratory infection typically caused by influenza A and B viruses. Common symptoms include fever, chills, sore throat, cough, muscle aches and extreme fatigue.
Help prevent the spread of the flu:
- Obtain the flu vaccine.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water / use hand sanitizers.
- Cough or sneeze in a tissue or your sleeve.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
- Regularly clean surfaces and shared items.
- Stay at home when you are sick.
What the College is doing over the flu season:
- Flu vaccines available to staff and students from the Student Wellness and Accessibility Centre (SWAC).
- Hand sanitizing dispensers available in common public areas.
- Additional cleaning and disinfecting measures in common public areas.
- Regular communication with Toronto Public Health regarding flu prevention and treatment recommendations.
