What can I do to protect myself and my family?

Good hygiene is the key. You can reduce, but not eliminate, the risk of catching or spreading influenza by:
  • using a tissue to cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing
  • disposing of used tissues promptly and carefully
  • maintaining good basic hygiene, for example washing your hands frequently with soap and water to reduce the spread of the virus from your hands to your face, or to other people
  • cleaning hard surfaces (eg kitchen worktops, door handles) frequently using a normal cleaning product.
Spelthorne Council is working closely with colleagues in Surrey and has plans in place to respond to a pandemic.
