Attention: PEOPLE!!!

Malaysia’s death toll from the Influenza A (H1N1) has risen to EIGHT!!! The virus is contagious and can spread from human to human.

The symptoms include;

• Fever
• Lethargy
• Runny nose
• Cough
• Sore throat
• Lack of appetite
• Vomiting and diarrhoea in some cases.

Currently, there is no vaccine available to protect against swine flu besides antiviral medicines that can take to prevent or treat to it. So, you can prevent the spread of germs by:

• Covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
• Washing your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. You can also use alcohol-based hand cleaners.
• Avoiding touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
• Trying to avoid close contact with sick people.
• Staying home from work or school if you are sick.

P/s: Don't take it lightly. Is better to consult a doctor ASAP when not feeling well. Prevention is better than cure. Take good care everyone. ^-^
