Winter Wellness – Keep your whānau safe and well this winter
Cooler weather means more people are likely to get sick with colds, flu, COVID-19, and other respiratory illnesses, such as whooping cough. With more sick people around, the chances of illnesses being brought into your workplace increase. To protect your employees and visitors from infections and maintain business continuity we recommend sharing this information with your staff.
The National Public Health Service has prepared the below information on staying well this winter for you to use in your newsletters, and for businesses to share with staff and their whānau.
