Swine Flu: RBK’s preparations

At borough level the response to Swine Influenza is led by Dr Jonathan Hildebrand, Joint Director of Public Health for RBK and Kingston Primary Care Trust.

A factsheet will be delivered to all UK householders in the next week and contains practical information about the Swine Influenza.  As advised previously general infection control practices (eg disinfection of surfaces) and good respiratory hygiene (wash hands, use tissues, wrap and throw away) can help reduce transmission of all viruses, including human Swine Influenza and these are detailed in the factsheet provided.
