The PHA have reminded us of the importance of :

Washing your hands

Coming into the winter months hand hygiene along with respiratory hygiene is the most important method of preventing and controlling the spread of infections.

In particular parents should:

• Encourage children to wash hands regularly with soap and water;
• Make sure your child carries tissues at all times;
• Teach children to cover their nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing and to use a tissue which is disposed of quickly and carefully in a bin.
