Hi,

Cold and flu season is upon us. Here are some tips to avoid catching
diseases from and transmitting them to your fellow dancers.

  * Don't dance sick, or quarantine yourself with a single partner.

  * Wash your hands, with soap, before and after dancing.

  * Don't touch your face in general and your eyes in particular.

  * When you cough, cover your mouth with the inside of your elbow.

  * Get a flu shot. They are free for UIUC students, faculty, and staff.
