This is an important informational message from the Cumberland Public Schools about the recent flu outbreak:

Symptoms of the swine flu are similar to regular influenza and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue.

The best things you can do right now are:

1. Wash your hands frequently with soap and warm water. If soap and water are not available, use alcohol-based hand gel.

2. Cough into your elbow.

3. If an employee or student is sick with symptoms of the flu, instructions are for the employee or student to stay home for seven days after becoming ill or twenty-four hours after symptoms are over, whichever is longer.
