Just last month, more than 100 students were kept out of the Levittown school district with the flu (or flu like symptoms). And according to the below News 12 report earlier this week - experts say this just may be the beginning.

As the flu bug continues to ramp up on LI, we have some tips to help protect you and your kids this season:
- Wash hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol based hand rub
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth - germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated
- Clean and disinfect surfaces frequently touched at home, work, or school - especially when someone is ill
- Store your toothbrush in a place where it can dry without touching other brushes - this prevents airborne bacteria from hoping from one brush to the next
- Also, get a new brush at the start of an illness and replace it after the cold or flu has run its course
