Swine Flu Information

PREVENTION

You can reduce, but not eliminate, the risk of catching or spreading swine flu by:

·                 Always covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing.

·                 Disposing of dirty tissues promptly and carefully.

·                 Maintaining good basic hygiene, for example washing hands frequently with soap and water to reduce the spread of the virus from your hands to face, or to other people.  Use TRICHOL GEL when washing with soap and water is not available, or after touching surfaces that may be contaminated.

·                 Cleaning hard surfaces, such as door handles, frequently using a normal cleaning product.

 

 

The Health Protection Agency (HPA) recommends that healthcare workers should wear a facemask if they come into close contact with a person with symptoms (within one metre) to reduce their risk of catching the virus from patients.
