Germs are mean – keep your hands clean

It’s easy to do your part in stopping the spread of colds and flu this winter. Remember to wash your hands:

  • before and after eating and/or preparing food
  • after using the washroom, coughing or sneezing, using a tissue to wipe your nose, changing diapers and handling pets
  • when your hands are dirty
  • when you or someone you come into contact with is sick
  • after using cleaners or disinfectants
