e-Bug and Swine Flu

e-Bug has a series of educational materials and games on topics associated with microbes and the spread, treatment and prevention of infection. Many of these activities can be used to educate children about swine flu, particularly the respiratory and hand hygiene sections.

The spread of swine flu can be limited through basic respiratory hygiene including covering the mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing and sneezing and disposing dirty tissues promptly and carefully.
