Swine Flu (H1N1 Flu)

Preventative Measures against the spread of H1N1 Flu

Mustafa Center is concerned with the community's health. Please read the following to ensure our community stays in excellent health whilst coming to the Masjid and going home.

Stay informed. The Center for Disease Control's (CDC) website will be updated regularly as information becomes available.
Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people.
Upon entering the Masjid and your homes, take everyday actions to stay healthy. The Masjid provides hand sanitizer located at the entrances of the Masjid for your use.
Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
Stay home if you get sick. CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
Follow public health advice regarding school closures, avoiding crowds and other social distancing measures.
Call 1-800-CDC-INFO for more information.
