Hygiene protocol

Not sure if the FH Cafe is the right place to post this and the file is also not really new, but due to the recent development regarding the salamandrivorans fungus I thought it would be good to bring this under the attention here. The Dutch NGO Ravon (Reptile, Amphibian and Fish Conservation Netherlands) has drawn up a protocol how to handle after you visited a potentially infected site (which might be anywhere?).

We are all often out in the field and visiting one place after another, possibly aiding in the dispersal of this deadly fungus. I think it is good to know what we can do to help and that maybe NGO's in other countries can follow the example - distributing this under the volunteers if that has not been done yet.

Of course it is in Dutch but that should hardly be any problem with the help of Google Translate ;)

Here's the Flemish equivalent =>

Both were drafted largely by the same (Flemish) scientists from Ghent University (although I had a tiny say in the latter too ;) ).
