What should you do if you may have been exposed?

27 April 2009

Monitor your health for 10 days.

• If you become ill with fever and develop a cough or difficulty breathing, or if you develop any illness during this 10-day period, consult a health-care provider.
  
   
• At first contact with your health-care provider, remember to give him the following information: 
  
  
  • your symptoms
     
  • whether or not you had direct poultry contact
     
  • where you travelled
    
     
• Do not travel while sick, and limit contact with others as much as possible to help prevent the spread of any infectious illness.
   

NOTE: In the event of a pandemic, you should be prepared for the possibility that you and your dependants may be expected to remain at your duty station because of the risks of travel.
