Wash your hands

Wash your hands frequently! You may take it for granted but keep in mind that handwashing helps prevent the spread of airborne respiratory diseases. If you shake hands with a person who already has the flu, then you will also have droplets of coughing or squeezing on your hand. Now you are a carrier of the flu who could potentially also contaminate others.

So, wash your hands with warm or hot water to stop the spread of the flu. Ensure that you wash your hands properly from the inside and the outside. Don't forget to wash your hands before eating and after coming from outside.

If you already have a cold, cover your face with tissue paper and 20

Cover your mouth while coughing or sneezing

Flu is a widespread infection through droplets that come out of the mouth during sneezing or coughing. So, it is recommended to cover the face with tissue paper while sneezing, try to elbow sneeze, and cough. In this, the droplets are on your arm or sleeves after coughing or sneezing. Again, wash your hands to protect others from carrying the droplets that spread quickly from anything you touch. Moreover, you can also cover your face through surgical masks as it keeps the droplets to yourself only.

Stay home, stay safe

If you are sick, then don't plan to infect others. Try to stay at home to protect yourself from cold weather and gain more energy. Moreover, when you are at home, you can't re-infect everything as it is easy to cover your face while sneezing, and you are able to wash your hands at home. It helps you to protect your loved ones and recover fast. When you are at home, you can rest in the warm blanket that helps to gain more energy.

Don't touch your eyes, nose, and mouth

Avoid touching your mucous membrane frequently. It includes your eyes, nose, and mouth which is a direct route to your bloodstream. If you have any virus at your hands, it will quickly bypass your bloodstream. So, when you avoid touching the mucous membrane, you will have fewer chances of viral infection. Again, wash your hands so that you have fewer chances of infection.

Avoid meeting with sick people

It's better to avoid meeting with sick people and reduce close contact with them. The flu virus does not float in the air, but it is transported directly with infected persons. So, if you are sick, don't go outside for the sake of others' health. Sanitize your hands and dry them with a towel or tissues.

These tips are great for maintaining health and staying safe in the winter season.
