Infection Prevention and Control (COVID-19)
Infection Prevention and Control (COVID-19)
Humans contract infections and diseases when harmful germs (pathogens/pathogenic micro-organisms) enter the body and multiply. These micro-organisms are so small they can only be seen under a microscope.
Infections from micro-organisms are easily passed from person to person. However, they are also easy to control and manage if everyone takes preventative action. Infection control is essential to every business, particularly in a COVID-19 environment. Many work activities can put employees, customers and clients at risk of spreading and contracting the infection.
