Staff Can Help Prevent Flu Outbreaks
The Department of Health (DoH) has issued hotels, and other businesses in the hospitality sector, guidance to help them deal with a flu pandemic.
However, with this year illustrating how debilitating regular flu and sickness bugs can be - for staff, employers and customers alike - the advice is good reading for anyone who wants to cut down the spread of more ordinary illnesses, through better housekeeping and hygiene techniques.
Pandemic flu - which is the spread of a 'new' flu virus to which no-one has immunity - can have far-reaching effects, so the guide details extreme measures for more dangerous illnesses. But the general information and advice on minimising the spread of viruses among staff and guests can be incorporated into existing practices and routines and may really help at those times of the year when everyone seems to go down with something.
