Keeping clean to stay healty

WITH the World Health Organisation (WHO) having issued an alert on the outbreak of A(H1N1) influenza around the world, one of the best preventive steps to avoid getting this infection is to practise proper hygiene.
Wash hands regularly and thoroughly with soap and water before and after preparing food; after going to the toilet; before and after eating; after blowing your nose; and after using your hand when coughing or sneezing.
