Swine Influenza
If you are a traveller returning from an affected
area you should monitor your health closely for 7 days
following your trip. If you feel ill with fever and
other influenza like symptoms, such as generalised aches
and pains, cough and sore throat, you should stay at
home and telephone your Doctor on: 01530 270667
or NHS Direct 0845 46 47 for advice.
Anyone developing symptoms suggestive of influenza such
as those above, are advised to consult a Doctor for
advice.
If you think you have Swine Flu, please try not to
spread the virus, by staying at home and avoiding public
places, including the Doctor’s Surgery.
It is good practice to follow good hygiene practices:
-
Cover your nose and
mouth when coughing and sneeze using a tissue when
possible
-
Dispose of dirty
tissues promptly and carefully
-
Maintain good basic
hygiene e.g. frequent hand washing with soap and
water to reduce the spread of the virus from your
hands to your face or to other people
-
Clean hard surfaces
e.g. door handles frequently with a normal cleaning
product
Make sure that your
children follow this advice
