Regular hand washing is one of the best things to do to prevent the spread of viruses and germs. Therefore it is important to wash hands regularly and with the proper technique.

Most people do not know how to wash their hands correctly to ensure that they stand the best chance of removing all traces of the virus. Encourage your staff and colleagues, friends and family to learn this technique and use it regularly throughout out the day.

What else can you do to help control the spread of Coronavirus

• • Don’t touch your face especially nose, mouth or eyes unless you have washed your hands thoroughly
  • Cough or sneeze into a tissue or the crook of your arm so you do not cough straight onto your hands
  • Put any tissues or face wipes into the bin immediately and wash you hands immediately
  • Flat surfaces should be regularly wiped with disinfectant – desks, counters, work tops.  Soap and water is good enough for your hands so it will be good enough for you desk if you do not have disinfectant.
  • Make masks or at least tissues are readily available for those who develop a runny nose or cough at work.
