Do you know how to properly clean your workplace to avoid a flu outbreak?
We wrote a couple of weeks ago about how the flu had come to St. Louis.
This late-developing flu season is packing a big punch. Last week, St. Dominic's High School was forced to close due to the flu outbreak. From STLToday.com:
About 94 students, or 15 percent of the school's student body, missed class Thursday because of the flu, School President Cathy Fetter said. A handful of faculty, staff and administrators were also out sick with the flu.
"It's gotten progressively worse since Monday," she said. "We've been taking precautions at school, but we hope a small break in classes will help stop the flu from spreading to anyone else."
Classes are canceled for Friday, Feb. 10. The main office is closed. After-school practices/events will continue as scheduled. #stayhealthy

Protect yourself from lost productivity
Obviously, getting sick is horrible. The only thing that might be worse is having a sick child. Getting sick can also cause personal hardship because many employers are not good about letting sick employees stay home. They're probably worried about the lost productivity -- a real problem-- but they fail to realize they are only making their problem worse by exposing healthy employees to sick ones.
