Cover your cough and sneeze - use tissues, dispose of them properly and then wash your hands

Have healthy hands - wash your hands often and well.

Isolate yourself - maintain personal space of 1.5 metres to minimise exposure to influenza virus from those who may be ill; stay home if you become ill.

Reduce germs in your home and workplace - regularly disinfect common surfaces such as phones, remote controls, door knobs, light switches, toys, etc..

Prepare yourself and your family - get vaccinated annually and create an emergency plan and kit for yourself and your family.

	The roadshow is now on summer break. It will return in 2009.

The Canterbury District Health Board, South Canterbury District Health Board, Community and Public Health, Canterbury Civil Defence and Emergency Management Group, Environment Canterbury, territorial authorities, Science Alive, Red Cross, and St. John have worked together to create the roadshow. Officials from those organisations felt it was important to work together to deliver the message.

The Pandemic Survival Roadshow was built by Science Alive. The installation includes five exhibit pieces with information banners. Each exhibit piece outlines an important message regarding pandemic influenza survival.
