FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE New Flu Safety Kit Hits the Market! April 28, 2009 (Newbury Park, CA) - Minimus (http://www.minimus.biz) has just launched their newest travel-size kit, the Flu Safety Kit (http://www.minimus.biz/Flu-Safety-Kit-K01-0459935-2100.aspx). Just when we all thought that the flu season was winding down, the Swine Flu virus has begun circulating. Though so far Americans have been told there is no need to panic, there are some basic precautions that we should all be taking to help prevent the virus from afflicting ourselves and our families. According to the Center for Disease Control’s website (http://www.cdc.gov/swineflu), the following are some very simple steps that we can all take that will help to prevent ourselves against the flu virus. "What You Can Do to Stay Healthy There are everyday actions people can take to stay healthy. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way." The new Flu Safety Kit (http://www.minimus.biz/Flu-Safety-Kit-K01-0459935-2100.aspx) from Minimus (http://www.minimus.biz) is designed to help you with these steps by packaging together travel-size versions of the items you need in a small snap closed bag including Kleenex® facial tissues, Clorox® Disinfecting Surface Wipes, and Purell® Hand Sanitizer. Also included is a quick reference card that includes the above tips and more from the Center from Disease Control website. Place the Flu Safety Kit in the places where it is needed the most - your child's backpack, your desk at work, your purse, and your car. The Flu Safety Kit (http://www.minimus.biz/Flu-Safety-Kit-K01-0459935-2100.aspx) is available online through Minimus (http://www.minimus.biz) and is affordably priced for only $5.77 and for orders over $20.00, free domestic ground shipping is included.
