Infectious Disease

Be Prepared

Infectious diseases such as swine flu can cause health issues. You can reduce the risks by observing good basic hygiene.

 

  • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing.

  • Dispose of dirty tissues promptly and carefully - bag and bin them.

  • Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or hand sanitiser.

  • Clean hard surfaces such as worktops, door handles and handrails frequently.

  • Make sure you and your family are up to date with recommended vaccinations.

 

If you’re worried about infectious disease:

​

  • Contact your GP, or

  • Contact the NHS by dialling 111, or

  • Visit the NHS website at www.nhs.uk.

  • Visit the UK Health Secuity webpages on the gov.uk website.
