The flu season is about to begin.
It is important to stay healthy and practice healthy habits, such as gargling, washing your hands, and avoiding crowds, to prevent infection. Also, it is recommended that you prepare ahead of time in case you become sick. In addition, please be considerate of those around you by practicing “cough etiquette.”
