Influenza has arrived in
Morrow County
lone awards good work ethic
Not too late to get vaccinated\ says health district
The following was pro
vided by the Morrow Coun
ty Health District.
Although the number of
flu cases may be decreasing
in other areas of the country,
influenza is just beginning
to impact Morrow County;
however, it is not too late
to get vaccinated. Morrow
County Public Health wants
to encourage you to get
your flu vaccination if you
have not done so already.
Getting vaccinated is the
first and most important
step in protecting against
this serious disease.
The flu virus is spread
mainly from person to
person through coughing
and sneezing in which tiny
droplets travel through the
air and into the mouths or
noses of people nearby.
These droplets can also
land on surfaces such as
tabletops or desks, and can
live for two hours or more,
making it possible for you
to come in contact with the
virus and become ill.
Most deaths and hospi
talizations from influenza
and its related complica
tions occur in babies, the
elderly and people with
weakened immune sys
tems. However, most flu
transmissions come from
young, healthy, unvacci
nated children and adults.
That is why vaccination is
such an important part of flu
prevention.
Morrow County Public
Health urges you to:
-Get your seasonal flu
vaccination.
-Cover your nose and
mouth with a tissue or your
arm when you cough or
sneeze.
-Throw the tissue in the
trash after you use it.
-Wash your hands of-
ten with soap and water,
especially after you cough
or sneeze. Alcohol-based
hand sanitizers are also ef
fective.
-Avoid touching your
eyes, nose or mouth. Germs
spread that way.
-Stay home if you be
come sick.
Other ways to reduce
the spread of the virus in
clude: cleaning work and
household surfaces often;
wearing a mask if you have
a weakened immune sys
tem; asking your family,
friends and health provid
ers to get a flu vaccination;
getting plenty o f sleep;
exercising and eating well;
managing any chronic con
ditions; trying to avoid
close contact with sick
people; and staying home
if you become sick.
Be proactive and keep
yourself well this flu sea
son. Get your flu vaccine
at Morrow County Health
Department while supplies
are available.

The Arbuckle Nordic ski club modified its planned route on
Saturday due to icy/crusty trail conditions. Better conditions
were found on the flats of Herren Meadow and then Linger
Longer Prairie. The group found a sunny site for their lunch
stop and built a great warming fire. -Contributedphoto
