Prevention is the best action for such things as gastro, colds and flu. With H1NI Swine flu in the news again, washing your hands frequently is a good measure to help stop the spread of this and other infections.

You should wash your hands;

• before and after eating or food preperation
• after going to the toilet
• after coughing and sneezing
• after caring for someone who is sick

You can remove most disease causing germs by cleaning frequently touched areas and discarding that wipe.

We can all play a part in helping stop infection in our community so remember, "Wash it, Wipe it and Cover it".
