Bill Harvey: Refuse/Resist

Over the weekend, the College of Optometrists published online some very useful resources for all of us working in primary care and who may come into contact with the novel coronavirus. At the time of writing, there have been eight confirmed cases in the UK, but this is likely to have changed by the time you read this. Well worth checking this information online.

The digital resource includes region-specific advice, but common to all is a reinforcement of how to minimise the spread of the virus. Hand-washing with a good soap and water, complemented by the additional use of antibacterial cleanser, is most important of all, as the virus can be picked up by contact with infected surfaces.
