Dear MDES Parents and Guardians,

There has been an increase in influenza in Hancock county and throughout the state of Maine. Please review the guidance below from the Maine CDC:

The Department of Health and Human Services' (DHHS') Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Maine CDC) is urging Mainers to take steps to protect their health as influenza (flu) activity begins to rise across Maine. To protect yourself and others, the Maine CDC recommends the following prevention strategies:

Stay up to date with annual flu vaccination.

Stay home when you are sick.

Wash your hands frequently with soap and water.

Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your elbow.

Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

Clean and disinfect commonly-touched surfaces and objects.
