OSU-Cascades has taken a number of measures to prepare for the upcoming flu season. Faculty, staff, students and visitors are encouraged to further protect themselves and others this flu season by following these four guidelines:

• Wash hands frequently with soap and warm water or use waterless alcohol based hand sanitizer (located in all campus 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 greater 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
• Get a flu shot
