Healthy Spring Festival The Spring Festival is approaching, and people are on their way home to reunite with their families. However, the increased turnover of people also increases the risk of respiratory cross-infection. To ensure the health of you and your family, this article will provide you with a practical guide to preventing cross-infection of your breath.
1. Understand how the virus spreads.
First, we need to understand how the virus spreads. Respiratory viruses are mainly transmitted through droplets, which are inhaled by healthy people when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks. In addition, touching parts such as the mouth, nose, and eyes after touching items or environments contaminated with the virus can also lead to infection.
2. Preventive measures.
Once we know how the virus spreads, we can take precautions:
1.Wear a mask.
Always wear a mask in public and on transportation. Choose surgical masks or N95 masks, minimize mouth and nose exposure, and change them regularly. When wearing a mask, make sure it fits snugly against your face and doesn't leak air.
2.Practice social distancing.
Try to keep a distance of more than 1 meter from others and avoid close contact. If close contact cannot be avoided, minimize the amount of time spent in contact.
3.Wash your hands frequently.
Wash your hands frequently with soap and running water, or use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Remember to wash your hands, especially after touching public objects and vehicles.
4.Avoid crowded places.
Try to avoid crowded places such as shopping malls, movie theaters, etc. If you need to go, please wear a mask and practice social distancing.
5.Avoid contact with people with respiratory symptoms.
If you find someone around you who has symptoms such as fever and cough, try to stay away. If in doubt, please consult a doctor for examination.
6.Pay attention to indoor ventilation.
Keep indoor ventilation and open windows for ventilation at least 2-3 times a day for 20-30 minutes each time. Avoid closing doors and windows for long periods of time.
7.Boosts immunity.
Maintain a healthy lifestyle, including getting enough sleep, eating a sensible diet, and exercising properly. At the same time, avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption.
