(NIOSH)-certified respirators (N-95 or higher) are recommended for use during activities that have a high likelihood of generating infectious respiratory aerosols

If N-95 respirators are not available, surgical masks can provide benefits against large droplet exposure, and should be worn for all activities for patients with confirmed or suspected pandemic-influenza

Although people usually think that germs are spread through the air, germs are most easily spread through HAND CONTACT.   One of the best ways to stop the spread of germs is to wash or decontaminate your hands. Washing hands helps to physically remove germs by friction. Decontaminating hands reduces the amount of germs present on hands through use of special alcohol-containing preparations, in the form of gels, rinses or foams.   While alcohol-containing preparations reduce germs on your hands, they cannot remove visible soil or contamination. It is ALWAYS important to WASH/WIPE hands any time they are visibly soiled.   HALYARD* Neutral Hand Wipes contain Vitamin E and no alcohol, to provide you with a convenient and easy way to clean your hands when they’re visibly soiled, before and after meals and after using the bathroom.

Influenza is primarily transmitted from person to person via large virus-laden droplets that are generated when infected persons cough or sneeze. Transmission may also occur through direct or indirect contact with respiratory secretions, such as touching surfaces contaminated with influenza virus and then touching the eyes, nose or mouth.   A 70% isopropyl alcohol solution, left to dry on a surface that is not contaminated with organic matter, will kill enveloped viruses, gram negative and gram positive bacteria, mycobacterium tuberculosis, as well as some non-enveloped viruses, but it is ineffective against fungal and bacterial spores. Isowipe* and Isowipe* minis are isopropyl alcohol impregnated wipes that offer cost effective, bactericidal disinfection of clean surfaces, in a dispensing canister.
