Stay Healthy at the Fair!
County fairs are starting around Iowa! The fair brings communities together and highlights the importance of agriculture and livestock to Iowa. As you enjoy the fair this year, keep a few health and safety tips in mind:
- Humans and animals should both stay home if they are sick.
- Keep food and drink out of animal areas.
- Wash hands with soap and water after touching animals or their environments, after using the bathroom, and before eating. If soap and water aren’t available, use alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
- Stay hydrated, and cool off in the shade or air conditioning.
- Remember to pack and re-apply sunscreen.
- Don’t drink and drive. Plan for a designated driver, rideshare, or shuttle before your first sip.
