Hands are the main way to spread the virus, so it's important to practice good hygiene and wash your hands frequently, especially after touching public objects, with soap and water, or using alcohol-based hand sanitizer. At the same time, cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or elbow when coughing and sneezing, and avoid direct contact with your hands.
3. Get vaccinated against influenza.
The flu vaccine is the most effective way to prevent the flu. Every autumn, influenza vaccination is carried out in our country. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, pregnant women, and patients with chronic diseases, it is recommended to give priority to vaccination. In addition, children and adolescents are also at high risk of influenza, and it is recommended that they also get the flu vaccine to reduce the risk of infection.
4. Keep indoor air circulation.
Influenza viruses spread quickly in the air, so it's important to keep indoor air ventilated. Open windows every day to allow fresh air to enter the room and reduce the accumulation of viruses indoors. At the same time, it is necessary to keep warm and avoid catching a cold.
5. Keep warm.
In autumn, the temperature fluctuates greatly, so you should pay attention to adding or removing clothing to avoid getting cold. Especially when you are outdoors, you should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid cold stimulation of your body. In addition, avoid overwork, arrange work and life reasonably, maintain a good attitude, and improve physical resistance.
