Influenza A H1N1 in Mexico
The Influenza A N1-H1 is getting under control, the numbers of deaths are drastically reducing to 0 in the last days, and Jalisco is not one of the States with an important number of cases. The Government has given permission to open all the public spaces, and normal life has been restored.
Because of all this, I recommend to come to Guadalajara and enjoy a great summer & Fall program!
Please see the attached file in PDF format, where you can analyze the behavior of the N1H1 in Mexico day by day and in any region of the country.
Preventing the Flu
Good Health Habits Can Help Stop Germs
1.- Avoid close contact.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.
2.-Stay home when you are sick.
If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness.
3.- Cover your mouth and nose.
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick.
4.- Clean your hands.
Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs.
5.- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.
6.-Practice other good health habits.
Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.
