The start of the winter season is the perfect time to review workplace and classroom strategies to help mitigate the impact of infection and illness. Winter preparation, such as increased cleaning protocols and personal hygiene practices, should be a top priority for businesses and schools. It is important to note that it is not only businesses and schools that are affected by the spread of the flu virus. It is vital to consider how an infection or flu outbreak can affect our front-line healthcare workers in medical centers and hospitals, as well as the wider community, especially our most vulnerable members such as babies and children, people elderly and people with existing medical conditions.
