    Public health officials at the federal and state level continue to recommend that the common-sense practices that we have all become accustomed to during flu season are the best defense against the illness.

    • First, if you are experiencing symptoms of illness, stay home and avoid contact with others. This includes staying home from Mass to avoid spreading infections.

    • Frequently wash your hands with an alcohol-based hand rub or warm water and soap.

    • Cover your mouth and nose with a flexed elbow or tissue when sneezing or coughing.

    • Avoid close contact with anyone who has a fever or cough
