Influenza (flu) is a virus that spreads quickly from person to person. It can be spread through the air by coughing and sneezing as well as by hands, cups and other objects that have been in contact with an infected person’s mouth or nose.
The following information will help reduce the spread of influenza and assist your school:
1. Cover your mouth and nose with tissues when coughing and sneezing.
2. Make sure students (and staff) with symptoms stay at home until
they are well and free of symptoms.
3. Wash your hands regularly. Put hand washing posters on noticeboards
and in bathrooms.
4. Clean surfaces that are touched often (door handles, bench tops,
toilets bathroom areas).
