Prevent influenza
According to a report by Public Health England, 142 people were hospitalised in the first week of 2015 suffering from influenza.
Manty Stanley, managing director at TEAL Patents comments: “People suffer more commonly from influenza throughout the winter months due to the sudden drop in temperature.
“Although they are no real cures, it is widely recognised that by following the gold standard of hand hygiene – by washing hands with soap and warm running water – it may prevent the further spread of influenza.”
