Keep washing those hands!
Got soap? Got water? These girls from Adams Elementary School know what to do!
The Corvallis School District is urging students and staff to pay a lot more attention to how often and how well they wash their hands during the school day in an effort to reduce the spread of cold and flu germs. Good hand hygiene, coupled with reminders to cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your sleeve, remain the primary strategies recommended by the Benton County Health Department and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to fight the H1N1 (swine) flu virus.
