At approximately 9:00 a.m., 4/29/09, a message was sent via the PAS (parent alert system) pertaining to a public service message prepared by the Director of the Chesapeake Health department.

The message was as follows:

To date there have been no confirmed cases of swine flu in Virginia. So now is a perfect opportunity to encourage healthy habits to help protect you and your family should cases occur in our area. Frequent hand washing, with soap and water or hand sanitizer, is most important. Use the sanitizer wipes at stores to clean the handles of shopping carts. Stay home from school or work if you are ill. Use cough etiquette by coughing into your sleeve. Keep yourself and your family as healthy as possible by eating right, exercising and getting plenty of sleep. Healthy bodies are better at fighting infection. If you have flu symptoms call the doctor's office before you show up for an appointment so they can put you in a room early and not infect other people.

Updates on the Swine flu are available on the CDC website at www.cdc.gov, or their hotline at 800-CDC-INFO. The Chesapeake Health Department hotline number is 757-382-8722. A link to the CDC website will be added to our CPS webpage in the near future.
