Stopping the spread of germs

The NHS has issued the following advice on the best way to slow the spread of almost any germs, including coronavirus. Do:

• wash your hands with soap and water often – do this for at least 20 seconds
• always wash your hands when you get home or into work
• use hand sanitiser gel if soap and water are not available
• cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve (not your hands) when you cough or sneeze
• put used tissues in the bin straight away and wash your hands afterwards
• try to avoid close contact with people who are unwell

Don’t: touch your eyes, nose or mouth if your hands are not clean
