Protecting yourself and others from respiratory illnesses like the flu starts with you. The NOVA OEMS (Office of Emergency Management and Safety) has posted signage about campus concerning germ and influenza precautions from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which are also the same guidance for the Covid-19 virus.

If you’re sick, stay home, and rest.

Slow the spread of germs….cover your coughs and sneezes and wash your hands often.

Information will be displayed on campus bulletin boards and on mirrors in bathrooms.
