Germ Defence website rolled out through GP practices in England to help reduce household #COVID19 infections: researchers from @HPRU_BSE @capcbristol @ARC_West are investigating the effectiveness of @GermDefence in preventing #coronavirus spread at home. bit.ly/2OZBfHz
Germ Defence retweeted
💬 "We have to continue to reduce infection spread." New research from @BathPsychology shows that people are still struggling to stick to some behaviour changes to limit transmission of the COVID-19 virus in the home. 🏠 bath.ac.uk/announcements/… @GermDefence @benainsworth

There are simple things we can all do to reduce the risk of spreading coronavirus when family and friends visit over Christmas. See how to help reduce infection spread with @GermDefence; a project from behavioural psychologists including @benainsworth. bath.ac.uk/announcements/…
Germ Defence retweeted
Spread Germ Defence, not the virus! With people gathering at home for #Christmas, it's vital to stop the spread of #coronavirus in the home. Following advice from the @GermDefence website has been shown to reduce the spread of flu & other viruses. See: bit.ly/3mbxQkI

Simple measures can help reduce the spread and severity of infection among those living with people who have covid-19, argues #BMJAnalysis, including handwashing, avoiding sharing rooms and surfaces, managing incoming deliveries, and ventilating rooms ow.ly/Y1g750zyi90

Prof. Lucy Yardley @unisouthampton was interviewed this morning on #r4Today about a paper published today on self isolation. It is not inevitable that everyone in the same household will become infected with #coronavirus. Main points I took away: @Chuck_ElderUK @UoS_Medicine
