Hygiene advice

Good hygiene can help reduce spread of all viruses, including the flu virus. This includes:

• covering your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing, using a tissue when possible;
• 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 your face or to other people;
• cleaning hard surfaces (such as door handles) frequently using your usual cleaning product.
