Travelers urged to exercise anti-flu precautions

Advertiser Staff

Health officials in Hawaii this morning urged people to follow a flu-prevention campaign unveiled today by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention aimed at travelers.

The program, entitled “Prevention Can be Travel-sized,” urges travelers to:
• Travel only when feeling well and when they have not had fever symptoms within the previous 24 hours;
• Get flu vaccinations;
• Wash hands frequently;
• Cover coughs and sneezes.
