• We probably spend more time at work than we do at home so it makes sense to follow the same hygiene, particularly as there are more people to spread germs. Good hygiene in the workplace is essential for reducing the risk of being unwell.

Wash your hands regularly with soap and water, or use a hand sanitizer.

Stay at home if you are ill, so you do not spread it to other peopleCover your nose and mouth with a tissue when sneezing and

coughing, then throw it in a bin and wash your handsTry not to touch your eyes, nose or mouth, as viruses can transfer

from your hands and into the bodyMake sure shared cups, glasses, dishes and cutlery are clean

before you use them. Wash them in soap and water after use and dry thoroughly
