PODIUM ANNOUNCEMENTS - SEPTEMBER 25, 2009From the DCS
Please take note of this very important message. When we come to that portion during our prayer meetings where we greet one another, and during the Sign of Peace in our Eucharistic celebration, where the usual custom is by shaking hands or a beso/kiss on the cheek, we would instead urge everyone to use another gesture, for example, by bowing and saying “Peace be with you.”
Also, in light of current concerns regarding the spread of H1N1 influenza, it is important that we remain diligent with preventative measures. We need to take note of the following reminders from our health officials:
• Good hand hygiene is the best way to prevent the spread of all flu viruses. Wash your hands with soap and water thoroughly and often.
• Keep an alcohol-based hand sanitizer (gel or wipes) handy at work, home and in your car. It needs to be at least 60% alcohol to be effective.
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze and dispose of tissue. Cough into your upper sleeve if you don’t have a tissue.
• Stay home when you are feeling sick or have a fever out of respect for those around you.
• Keep common surfaces and items clean and disinfected.
