Swine Flu Prevention
- Swine flu can be referred to as “2009-H1N1” (US EPA) or “H1N1 Influenza A” (World Health Organization)
*Influenza spreads between humans through coughing or sneezing and people touching something with the virus on it and then touching their own nose or mouth. Recommendations to prevent spread of the virus among humans include using standard infection control against influenza.
The CDC recommends you to wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
**A branch chief from the US EPA OPP Antimicrobials Division, Ms. Michelle Wingfield, is recommending the use of any registered product with label claim against Influenza A. A product with an Influenza A label claim can be used against the current H1N1 strain, although a specific claim for “swine flu” cannot be added to the label of the product.
Athea Laboratories has several products that have the Influenza A claim on the label which are listed below, including the General Purpose Disinfectant Wipe which has only a 5 minute contact time! Also available are several ready-to-use and concentrated surface disinfectant liquids as well as an aerosol disinfectant. Athea offers additional protection to sanitize hands with their hand soaps, an alcohol-based sanitizing gel and wipe.
