How can I protect myself from influenza A (H1N1)? What should I do if I need medical attention?
1. Wash your hands with hot water and soap regularly or use a good hand sanitiser.
2. Don’t sneeze into your hands. Use a tissue, or lacking one, your sleeve.
3. If someone in your household has the flu, clean doorknobs, taps, flush handles and light switches with a good disinfectant.
