Report links Super Bowl and flu

“Flu can be spread person to person or it can actually be on surface and be picked up, so like if you were eating chips and you doubled dip,” said Leanne Megnin, an infection prevention specialist at St. Mary Corwin Medical Center.

Megnin says the best way to protect yourself from the flu virus is washing your hands and covering your mouth when you cough.
