As we can see from above picture, more countries are infected by the swine flu. UK has confirmed several cases. However, Key messages from health department were that all cases outside Mexico, the symptoms of this illness are mild and all patients have made a full recovery. So hopefully Ireland will be ok.
Just post some Health and hygiene advices here:
The advice from the NHS is that preventing the spread of germs is the single most effective way to slow the spread of diseases like pandemic flu. You can protect yourself and your family by ensuring everyone washes their hands regularly with soap and water, and by cleaning surfaces regularly.
You can prevent a virus spreading to others by:
- always carrying tissues
- using tissues to cover your mouth and nose when you cough and sneeze
- binning the tissues as soon as possible
- washing your hands regularly.
