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.
