It is common knowledge to wash hands frequently - but how many of us take the time to wash in between our fingers? Disinfecting commonly touched areas like light switches, door knobs, and computer mouses will also help reduce risk.And don't forget to mark your calendar for a flu vaccination this year. Taking these simple steps to prevent the spread of viruses and germs can help maintain a healthier community.
