Flu season
Be healthy! Some strains of the flu – like the H1N1 vrius – can be more contagious and severe than others. Blackhawk has developed a plan for disease prevention and control. But you can help, too! Washing your hands often, avoiding touching your eyes, nose or mouth, and staying home if you feel sick can all help stop the spread of the virus.
