Facts About The Spread of Contagious Illness:

Germs that infect the respiratory system often spread through:

• Cough or sneeze droplets
• From person to person
• Saliva, mucus, and tears of an infected individual

Through indirect transfers, including air and contaminated surfaces

Infection Control Measures to Prevent Respiratory Diseases:

The first step of infection control measures is by stopping the spread of the disease. The best way to prevent the spread is through the following steps.

• Minimize close contact with the sick employees who have symptoms of respiratory illness
• Maintain workplace hygiene by cleaning heavily trafficked areas, doorknobs, restrooms, and cafeterias
• Promoting personal hygiene and cough etiquettes at the workplace by educating employees:

1. To wash hands for at least 20 seconds
2. Maintain a social distance
3. Use hand sanitizers and masks whenever necessary
4. Maintain a clean work environment

Several common respiratory illnesses, such as flu, can be prevented with a seasonal vaccine. Axiom Medical offers specialized onsite medical services and flu clinics with employee vaccination and testing options.
