Answers to the Public regarding Swine Flu

Brought to you by The City of Weslaco, Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management: 

There is no need for Panic or Alarm. Federal, State and local officials are monitoring the situation and its development. Please remain calm during this situation.

Good Hygiene will help to reduce possible exposure, wash hands often, cover mouth when coughing, do not share other eating or drinking utensils.

Masks are avialable from local pharmacies, hardware stores and Wal-Mart. There is no requirement for the public to purchase these items at this time.

Feeling Sick, immediately see your family doctor. Let him/her determine what you have, don't self diagnose.

School Closures, if schools are to be close, they will be announced by the school district and not the city.
