  USA  Hockey Announces H1N1 Recommendations
    
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - USA Hockey, with the  counsel of Dr. Michael  Stuart, its chief medical officer, today issued the  following information regarding the H1N1 infection, including  recommendations to reduce the likelihood of spreading the  infection. USA Hockey  recommends:

- Providing individual water  bottles for players and not sharing water bottles.
- Regularly  washing hands.
- Cleaning workout gear for each  practice/competition.
- Keeping gloves on during the traditional  handshake with opponents.

Individuals with influenza may develop typical  signs or symptoms, including: fever (102 degrees fahrenheit or  greater), cough, muscle aches, runny nose, headache or sore threat,  with the potential for more serious complications, including  pneumonia. This year's influenza virus strain has  particularly affected children and young adults. Transmission of the  influenza virus may occur from the day before the onset of symptoms  and during the five-to-seven days that the symptoms are  present. Infected individuals  should stay home until signs and symptoms have resolved, with no  fever present for at least 24 hours. The 24-hour  no-fever timeline should be achieved naturally, without the aid of  fever reducing medications.

Additional information regarding H1N1 is  available from the Centers for  Disease Control and  Prevention http://www.cdc.gov/H1N1Flu
