How to Stop it Spreading
To stop other people in your household becoming ill, you should-
- try not to prepare/handle food
- thoroughly wash hands with hot soapy water and dry them properly after using the toilet and before eating and drinking
- daily clean and disinfect the toilet seat, bowl and handle, taps and door handles
- the person who is ill should have their own towel which no-one else can use
- any surfaces which have had contact with diarrhoea or vomit should be cleaned and disinfected
- in the event of clothing/linens becoming soiled, as much vomit or faeces should be removed before washing on a hot wash in the washing machine
- plastic gloves and protective clothing should be worn when cleaning any soiled areas/linens and hands should be thoroughly washing afterwards
