As #WorldHandHygieneDay approaches, we’re asking NHS Scotland staff to only wear disposable non-sterile gloves when they’re needed.
When gloves are not needed, good hand hygiene is the best way to protect patients, staff and our planet.

Protect others from norovirus – wash your hands regularly with soap and warm water
🚽 After going to the toilet
🥗 Before you prepare any food
Alcohol gels won’t kill norovirus, so make sure you keep washing your hands!

ALT If you catch it, stay home for 48 hours after your symptoms clear. DO: wash clothes and bedding at 60 degrees, wash hands with soap, clean surfaces with bleach-based disinfectants. DON'T: go to work or school, visit care homes or hospitals, prepare food or others.
