Stop the spread

Published on by Lesley WebbLeave a comment

There are simple things you can do in your daily life that will help reduce the spread of COVID-19, Flu  and other respiratory infections and protect those at highest risk. Things you can choose to do are:

  1. Get vaccinated.
  2. Let fresh air in if meeting others indoors.
  3. Practise good hygiene:
    • wash your hands
    • cover your coughs and sneezes
    • clean your surroundings frequently
  4. Wear a face covering or a face mask.

Face coverings and face masks can help reduce the chance of you spreading infection to others, especially in crowded and enclosed spaces, and may protect you from becoming infected by some respiratory viruses.

If you have symptoms of a respiratory infection, such as COVID-19, and you have a high temperature or do not feel well enough to go to work or carry out normal activities, you are advised to try to stay at home and avoid contact with other people.

Recent changes to the materials used in the production of toothpaste tubes means that most can now be recycled in the Bright Blue Bag – so long as it says ‘recyclable’ on the tube.
