- Tooele County Health Department recommends people avoid non-essential travel to Mexico at this time.
- If you must travel to Mexico, there are steps you should take to reduce your risk of infection:
- First, prepare for your trip before you leave by monitoring the international situation; checking with your doctor about prescription antiviral medications; packing a travel health kit; reviewing your health insurance plan; and finding where you can get health care services while traveling.
- Practice healthy habits to help prevent the spread of germs including washing your hands often with soap and water, covering your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, and following all local health advice. This may include being asked to wear a surgical mask if you are sick.
- If you are traveling to Mexico, you should be sure you get a seasonal flu vaccination. It is not expected to protect against Novel H1N1 Virus or S-0IV flu, but it will protect you against seasonal flu. Flu season runs through May in the northern hemisphere, and is just beginning in tropical and southern hemisphere countries.
- After you return from Mexico pay close attention to your health for 10 days. If you become sick with a fever PLUS a cough and sore throat, or if you have trouble breathing during the 10 days after you return see a doctor.
- When you make your appointment tell the doctor about your symptoms, where you traveled, and if you had close contact with a sick person or farm animals. This way the doctor is aware you traveled to an area reporting Novel H1N1 Virus or S-0IV flu.
