Hand Hygiene

for Gastroenteritis

Thorough handwashing to prevent spreading infection to other household members and prevent reinfection.

How it works

Gastroenteritis pathogens spread via faecal-oral route. Hand hygiene breaks the transmission chain.

What to watch for

Wash for at least 20 seconds with soap. Alcohol hand gel is less effective against norovirus - soap and water is essential.
