Consider the numerous times you have come to work while sick. You are feeling under the weather, but you have so much work to do, phone calls to return, deadlines to meet, so the show must go on. Rarely does the notion of spreading germs cross your mind. Unfortunately, this scenario is all too common and is one of the reasons infectious diseases spread so rapidly in the workplace.
Matt will discuss: Influenza – what it is and what it is not, and Influenza prevention, Noro-like viruses, Antibiotic resistant Staph bacteria, The Here and Now on Measles, The Five “No-No’s” of sensitive occupations and tips for the workplace. He will talk about what is contagious, how are germs spread and how to protect yourself.
