Infection Control Guidelines

Infection control guidelines are practices designed to prevent the spread of germs and infections in healthcare and community settings. This includes proper handwashing, using personal protective equipment like gloves and masks, cleaning and disinfecting surfaces regularly, and safely handling sharps or waste. These measures protect both individuals and others from illness, especially in environments where people are vulnerable. Following these guidelines helps reduce the chance of infections spreading, ensuring safe and healthy conditions for everyone. Consistently applying infection control practices is essential for maintaining public health and preventing outbreaks.
