Cumberland River Takes Steps to Combat N1H1
In response to the nationwide concern over the spread of the N1H1 Flu (Swine Flu), Cumberland River has taken steps to keep our patients, visitors, and employee's safe. The first thing that you will notice when visiting the facility is the signs posted at each entrance. These notices remind those entering the building to "Cover Your Cough" when coughing or sneezing and to use a surgical mask if you have flu like symptoms.
Influenza is spread in the air by droplets from someone sneezing or coughing on you. That's why it's so important to "Cover Your Cough". The flu virus can also be spread by contacting something or someone that has the virus and then putting your hands or fingers in your mouth, nose or eyes.
Preventing the virus by contact is as simple as washing your hands or using an alcohol based hand sanitizer. For more information go to the website below.
