In light of the current Swine Flu outbreak, PHS Direct has collated some useful business pointers on 'Preparing for Pandemic Flu' to protect your staff and customers from the virus.
Flu is transferred from person to person via direct contact or respiratory droplets, or picking up infection from hard surfaces (where the virus can remain dormant for up to 72 hours) and transferring them to the mouth or nose.
