Elfie the tinsel is supposed to be on the tree not wrapped around you. Remember your decorations need to be wipeable and disposed of if the area has an outbreak.

Day 22! Edwin is back from measles isolation and someone has left floury footprints all across the floor! Maintaining a clean environment can help reduce the burden of organisms helping to prevent infection. Remember to use the national colour coding chart for mops and cloths!

Day 24. One more sleep! Chef Eric has been preparing the turkey while Edwin has been baking! To avoid food poisoning ensure turkeys are defrosted throughly before cooking. Ensure they are cooked all the way through and no pink meat remains! 🦃 #foodpoisoning #IPC #stayelfy
