Avoid the spread of flu in your home

Did you know?

The four ways to reduce the spread of influenza are:

1. Cover your cough and sneeze
Use a disposable tissue when you sneeze or cough.

2. Wash your hands
Wash your hands for 15 seconds or more after sneezing, coughing, going to the toilet, changing nappies etc.

3. Keep your distance
If you don't feel well and have to go out, try to avoid crowds like public transport and cinemas. Keep a minimum of 1 metre from other people.

4. Separate sick people
If you are sick, stay home, don't go to work or school, you'll only be spreading the flu.
