19 October 2022
It’s that time of year again where we all become susceptible to catching colds and flus. Colds are flus are caused by different viruses and can be picked up so easily from family, friends, colleagues, surfaces you name it!
The unfortunate news is that we can’t see the germs that result in us catching colds and flus which makes avoiding them very difficult. But the good news is that you can protect yourself this season with our trusted and certified products from our Medicare range. So, check that your medicine cabinets and kits are fully stocked to ensure you are prepared for cold and flu season.
Let’s take a look at the Medicare range in two simple categories, Person to Person Contact & Surface Contact.
Person to Person Contact
Person to person contact such as shaking hands and hugging allows for germs to be spread directly. Keep in mind that germs can also be spread from people standing as far as 6 feet away from you. The following products from our Medicare range will help slow the spread of cold and flu causing germs.
