Brits told don't go to work 'if you are coughing and sneezing' - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
""I think we need to get back into the habit that if you are coughing and sneezing, but you're not unwell enough to not go to work, then you must wear a mask when you're in public spaces, including on public transport to stop the chances of you giving your virus to somebody else. "And we were all very good about infection control during Covid. And we really, really need to get back to that now.""
""I think that would be very sensible to all their colleagues, or probably their colleagues would say 'please go home.' "But we have really got to worry about the fact that this is a very nasty strain of flu. It spreads very easily. It's warm and wet out there and people need to be sensible.""
""We really do need people to sit up and listen. "And actually, we need to have a big debate probably after this flu season about how we prepare the public better for what happens every year. "So if you haven't already had your flu vaccine and you're eligible, please go and take it.""
NHS strongly advises people to stay home if they have any cold or flu-like symptoms as a rapidly spreading, severe flu strain moves across the UK. Britain is experiencing an earlier-than-usual flu season driven by warm, wet conditions and children remaining in school, which increases transmission. People who are coughing or sneezing but still going to work should wear masks in public spaces, including on public transport, or stay home to protect colleagues. Renewed infection-control habits from the COVID response are urged and eligible people should take the flu vaccine. A resident doctors' strike next week will add pressure to NHS services.
