Ways To Prevent Spread Of Viruses And Infections: by Nobody: 7:26pm On Oct 30, 2016 |
Some of the commonest infections are viral. Here are 4 simple and effective ways to prevent spread of viruses and infections: 1 . Wash Your Hands Frequently Make sure you wash your hands at least 4-5 times in day. Rub soap for at least 20 seconds and cover all areas of your hands. If there is no soap and water, use a hand sanitizer. 2 . Opt For “No Touch” Mantra -Viruses can linger on hard surfaces for hours or days. -That is why it is important to avoid touching areas like counters, sinks, doorknobs, light switches in offices and public places like metro stations and malls. -Wash your hands or use a sanitizer if you can’t avoid touching them. 3 . Swap Handshake With A Namaste -Avoid shaking hands especially if a person has cough or cold. -Instead wish him/her with folded hands. 4 . Prevent Mosquito Bites -Wear full sleeved shirts, trousers, socks and shoes as much as possible so that most areas of your body are covered. Avoid wearing shorts and sleeveless clothes when venturing out. -Use mosquito repellent creams judiciously on all exposed parts including face and neck before going out. Avoid contact with eyes. https://www.1mg.com/articles/4-habits-you-must-follow-to-prevent-viral-infections/ |
