Idaho Swine Flu Information

State and local health officials are concerned about swine flu and are monitoring reports of human cases from across the United States and other countries, especially Mexico.

Idaho public health officials are working with medical providers to identify any reports of influenza-like illnesses that may be related to the swine flu.  Because of the high amount of travel by Idaho residents, the swine flu could be introduced to Idaho.  No probable or confirmed cases have been reported to date in Idaho residents. There is not a vaccine available for the swine flu, but people can help stay healthy by following the prevention tips outlined below.

What You Can Do to Stay Healthy

·         Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze.  Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.

·         Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.  Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.

·         Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.  Germs spread that way.

·         Try to avoid contact with sick people.   Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people.

·         If you get sick, CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.

Idaho Information

The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare provides state-level public health information regarding swine flu.  Current information can be found at:
