Heath Protection Scotland have updated their guidance documents on Norovirus and Influenza for care homes.

This guidance for care homes has been developed to provide key information to assist with prevention and control of cases of Norovirus and Influenza in care homes.

The checklists included in the packs should be used in addition to the Standard Infection Control Precautions (SICPs) and Transmission Based Precautions (TBPs) as per the National Infection Prevention and Control Manual (NIPCM).
