Four Pointers for Flu Season Etiquette at the Office

Ugh, it’s that time of year again! By now we’ve all heard the buzz about a particularly horrible flu season this year.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the flu can spread to other people about six feet away essentially by droplets made when they sneeze, cough or talk. Lovely.

In addition, as per a piece on Forbes, someone may get the flu by touching a surface that has germs on it and then touching their own mouth or nose.

So when it comes to office space, we might as well all be germophobes considering all of the surfaces you share with your colleagues in close quarters.
