What hygiene measures should staff and students take to limit the risk of being infected by the flu?
Please follow commonsense and responsible preventative measures: • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. • Bin your tissue after use. • If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve, not your hands. • Wash your hands regularly with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze and before eating. • Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. • Stay away from others if you develop flu-like symptoms. Tell your line manager, go home, or stay at home, and telephone your GP.
