Flu-Free, Healthy Travel this Winter

Caring for Someone Sick
When caring for people who have flu, avoid face-to-face contact if possible. If the person you are caring for is at high-risk for flu-related complications and gets very sick, call their doctor. They may need antiviral drugs to treat flu.
