]]> 87836 2 0 Step Isolate the victim Keep the infected person in a room by themselves with the door closed. If you have more than one bathroom, designate one for the flu sufferer and sanitize it daily with household disinfectant.

]]> 87837 3 0 Step Designate a caregiver If possible, assign one person in the household as the sole caregiver. The caregiver should try to maintain a distance of six feet from the flu victim.

]]> 87838 4 0 Step Get face masks Get disposable surgical face masks or N95 respirators from a pharmacy or hardware store for the caregiver and patient to wear when they’re together. The caregiver should wear one whenever they leave the home, too, just in case they are in an early, asymptomatic stage of the illness.

]]> 87839 5 0 Tip An N95 respirator is more effective at filtering germs than a face mask, but it is difficult to breathe through it for long periods of time.

]]> 87840 6 0 Step Practice good hygiene Remind the victim to cough or sneeze into tissues and to wash their hands afterwards. The caregiver should wash their hands after each contact with the infected person and after handling their trash. Use disposable paper towels to dry hands, or give each family member their own cloth.

]]> 87841 7 0 Tip Alcohol-based hand sanitizers can be used in between hand-washing with soap and water.

]]> 87842 8 0 Step Keep things clean Frequently disinfect anything the ill person touches, like bedside tables, bathroom surfaces, and toys. Use a basket to gather dirty linens and clothes to keep them away from your face, and launder them in hot water.

]]> 87843 9 0 Step Wash utensils normally Don’t allow family members to use plates, glasses, or utensils that came into contact with the infected person until after they’re washed. You can wash them together with the rest of the dishes.

]]> 87844 10 0 Step Air things out Let fresh air into the common areas of the home as much as possible.

]]> 87845 11 0 Fact Due to the 2003 SARS outbreak, the health-care systems of most countries in the developed world are better prepared to deal with an epidemic.
