In 2019, a novel coronavirus was identified, COVID-19. Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause illness from the common cold to more serious disease like Sever Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
COVID-19 is an infectious disease that can be passed from person to person through droplets produced when an infected person speaks, coughs or sneezes.
Infectious diseases, like COVID-19, are preventable. Infection control in the workplace aims to prevent pathogens from coming into contact with any person in the first place.
The ‘Infectious Disease Awareness’ course assists managers with knowing what signs to be aware of, and what they can do to protect their health along with the health of their employees. This course will provide managers with understanding the process of identifying, assessing and applying strategies in their workplace to minimise the risk.
