Comments (0) |Health department asks churches for their helping in fighting the flu
The Lexington-Fayette County Health Department is reaching out to churches and faith communities about seasonal and H1N1 flu.
It is asking faith-based organizations to evaluate their usual activities and services to identify those that might increase the virus' spread. Activities might include hand-holding and hand-shaking.
The health department also is asking groups to teach members about staying healthy with good hygiene and hand-washing, cough etiquette and when to stay home or cancel events.
To help, the health department is offering to give flu-education presentations and other materials to faith-based groups. Call (859) 288-2350.
For information about the flu and public clinics for seasonal flu shots, call the health department's flu hotline, (859) 288-7529 or go to www.lexingtonhealthdepartment.org.
