       SWINE FLU - GOVERNMENT ADVICE

The old adage 'coughs and sneezes spread diseases' still holds firm today. Research has revealed that even in this modern age many people do not understand what a huge difference good hand and respiratory hygiene makes. Using and disposing of tissues correctly and washing hands can help reduce the spread of germs leading to colds, flu and other illnesses. The messages are simple:

Catch it - germs spread easily. Always carry tissues and use them to catch your cough or sneeze.

Bin it - germs can live for several hours on tissues. Dispose of your tissues as soon as possible.

Kill it - hands can transfer germs to every surface you touch. Clean your hands as soon as possible.

There has been some discussion about the use of alcohol gel. This may be useful if there is no ready access to washing facilities but the HPA advice is that washing with soap and water is better in most circumstances. Clearly very young children will need to be supervised and assisted with good hand washing.                                                                                                                 May 09
