As you have probably heard, there are a lot of colds and flu around this year. Both respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses have been especially circulating within the schools. This is due to the fact that children tend to spread germs easily and lack of fresh outdoor air. Remember all of these stay healthy tips:
1. Hand washing is one of the best ways to prevent the spread of illness.
Wash your hands often — when they are dirty, before eating, after using the restroom, and after sneezing into a tissue.
Use soap and warm water and rub your hands together for at least 15 seconds before rinsing and drying. If you haven’t got access to soap and water, another option is to source some hand gel from a Hand Sanitizer Canada company, or from one more local to your home. Hand sanitizer is perfect for when you’re out in public and need to clean your hands.
2. Get your HVAC systems cleaned and repaired
Fighting the flu has a lot to do with your HVAC systems and indoor air quality. It is true that air conditioners can eliminate humidity from the air. But a malfunctioning AC system can provide a breeding ground for allergens, mold, and germs that can worsen the flu. Remember that lower air quality may not be solely responsible for the flu. But poor air quality can definitely worsen its conditions by affecting the respiratory system and can prolong the symptoms of a cold or flu. Do not forget that your HVAC systems directly impact your indoor air quality. So, regularly maintain your HVAC systems with the help of a reputed HVAC Company like Temperature Humidity Air Quality Solutions.
3. Cough Etiquette
Avoid coughing or sneezing into your hands – use a tissue or your elbow. After sneezing, try and wash your hands as soon as possible. This will ensure that any bacteria or germs from your sneeze don’t remain on your hands all day, preventing you from spreading any germs.
4. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Germs spread this way. If you do have to touch these areas, try and clean your hands before and after to ensure no germs are being spread around your body.
5. MOST IMPORTANTLY stay away from people who are sick and stay home when you are sick to avoid spreading the flu around.
