H1N1 influenza is widespread in New York. Please help minimize the spread of this illness, for which few individuals have immunity. Wash hands frequently, cover your cough, use hand sanitizers on the sheets before shaking hands, and if possible sanitize rock handles after games. If you are ill with flu-like symptoms, please remain at home and find a sub. A fact sheet is available for more details about the H1N1 flu.
