The wording of a health leaflet that will be given to all Manx households in the wake of the swine-flu outbreak is being finalised.
As anticipated, the leaflet follows the upgrading of the crisis from level four to five by the World Health Organisation.
More details will be given at a meeting this afternoon (Thursday) and it's expected the leaflet will be distributed next week.
In the meantime, health authorities are giving the usual advice about covering your nose and mouth when sneezing and washing hands regularly to avoid any contagion.
