You may be exposed to various kinds of germs at work, especially during the flu season. If even one person in your office gets sick, everyone can become vulnerable to the flu risk.

In addition, since the pandemic, everyone also needs to be wary of the flu symptoms as it could be the coronavirus.

However, it may be impossible to completely avoid contact with your sick co-workers as you return to work.

Therefore, we have compiled a list of a few effective tips to minimize your risk of getting sick.

So, if you want to stay healthy during the flu season, follow these tips:

1) Wash your hands It may seem undesirable to wash your hands frequently in the cold season, but it is the best way to protect yourself from the flu germs. In addition, you may want to buy medical-grade

hand sanitizers & wipes to keep on your desk. So, whenever you have been in contact with any high-touch surfaces, such as doorknobs, you should use hand sanitizer to disinfect your hands.

2) Use a face mask If you or any of your co-workers have the flu, it is recommended to cover your mouth and remind your co-workers to wear a face mask to prevent germs from spreading. In addition, keep a pack of disposable tissues to use and dispose of properly after coughing or sneezing. You should also use disinfectant surface wipes or hand sanitizer to remove the germs from your hands.

3) Sanitize your workstation As your workstation is probably where you will spend most of your time, you should buy

disinfectant surface wipes to sanitize all surfaces such as the computer monitor, keyboard, mouse, phone, and desk. It is best to buy hand sanitizers and disinfectant wipes that are high-quality and EPA-approved for optimum protection.

Also, if any of your co-workers display flu symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and coughing, encourage them to take time off to recover. In addition, business managers should allow sick employees to take time off to prevent the flu virus from spreading.
