Superdrug takes the safety of all employees and patients extremely seriously. We ask that you please take the time to understand the latest guidance on Coronavirus.

The most important factor in preventing the spread of virus is in good hygiene practices and current advice from the NHS is: 

a.       Wash hands often with soap and water  

b.       Use tissues to catch sneezes and dispose of the tissue in the bin  

c.       Thoroughly and regularly clean surfaces  

 
You can also help keep yourself healthy by eating sensibly, resting well and drinking plenty of fluids.
