It's Flu Season

Let's fight the flu, together

The flu is a seasonal disease and is highly contagious. Each year, 5-20% of the worldwide population will become ill with seasonal flu.

Cover your coughs and sneezes.Symptoms

You may have the flu if you have some or all of the following symptoms:

  • fever
  • cough
  • sore throat
  • a runny or stuffy nose
  • body aches and pains
  • headache
  • chills
  • fatigue
  • diarrhea and/or vomiting

What we can do together

TriMet takes the health and safety of employees and riders seriously. Together, we can do our part in helping keep one another healthy this flu season. Preventative measures include:

  • Receive vaccinations for the flu.
  • Don't spread the flu! Stay home if you're sick.
  • When coughing or sneezing, cover your mouth and nose with either a tissue or your upper sleeve—not your hands. Dispose of tissues in the trash.
  • Wash your hands frequently and/or use hand sanitizing gels or wipes.
  • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.

If you have concerns about illness, please consult your medical provider, local health department or call the Oregon Public Health Division Hotline at 1-800-978-3040.
