Keep germs to yourself – Tips for the cold and flu season

It’s cold-and-flu season again, so you should probably get out your handkerchief and be prepared to spend a few days in bed, right? Not necessarily!

There are a few simple things you can do to reduce your risk of becoming ill:

  • Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, especially before eating, or use a hand sanitiser if you can’t get to a sink.
  • Avoid shaking hands with others, especially those who have been ill recently.
  • Keep working surfaces,, telephones and computers clean by using cleansers designed for these items

If you do start to feel ill, cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze and cough. Then, wash your hands to avoid spreading germs to others.
