Swine flu has yet to escalate into a global pandemic but here‘s what to do if it does 5 Ways to Protect Yourself (and Others) from Swine Flu Experts say that the steps you should take to shield yourself from swine flu are not much different than those you might take to ward off seasonal flu。

1. Don‘t touch your face

Above all keep your hands away from your eyes mouth and nose all of which serve as pathways for the virus to enter your respiratory tract says Allison Aiello an epidemiologist at the University of Michigan School of Public Health in Ann Arbor。

2. Wash your hands

If you must touch your face scrub your hands getting under the fingernails and inside all crevices for 20 to 30 seconds with hot soap and water beforehand Aiello says. “In addition to dislodging dirt that may contain virus particles soaps contain surfactants [the primary components of detergents] which can damage the lipid [fat] protecting virus particles“ she explains. Soap should therefore be effective against all flu viruses。
