Do not get them infected

(6)　Do not get them infected.

　　The term "infectious disease" is used to refer to illnesses that affect people.

　　Infectious diseases are caused by bacteria and viruses.

　　We have immune systems that fight bacteria and viruses when they enter our bodies and prevent us from becoming ill.

　　Many elderly people have weakened immunity.

　　Therefore, the elderly are more easily affected by infectious diseases.

・When you are infected.

　　If you are suffering from an infectious disease, stop working.

　　If you have a fever, cough, diarrhea (watery stools), or vomiting, call your workplace first.

　　Then go to the hospital to check if you have an infectious disease.

　　Please make sure when it is safe to return to work.
