How‌ ‌to‌ ‌Stay‌ ‌Safe‌ ‌during‌ ‌the‌ ‌Flu?‌

Most people suffer from the flu from April to October. Though it is a seasonal infection, some people tend to suffer from it all round the year. If your immunity is not up to the mark, you can easily get infected. Therefore, follow these tips to stay safe during the flu season:

• Vaccination: Flu is a common seasonal viral infection for which you can easily get yourself vaccinated every year. 
• Social distancing: Some healthy habits can keep you safe from catching the flu. For instance, don’t go too close to those who already have the flu. Stay away from crowded places as you never know who may be out on a germ-spreading spree. Maintaining a healthy distance from people, especially those who you know are sick, actually helps you to stay safe during the flu season.
• Stop the spread: If you are suffering from symptoms of flu, it is advisable to always cover your cough and wash hands often with soap or use hand sanitizers. It will help to stop the spread of your infection to others. In case you are feeling sick, it is advisable to stay at home. If your school, work or errands can wait, then stay away from them till your symptoms disappear. It would be your small contribution to stopping the spread of the infection to others.
• Thorough hand washing: Hand washing is perhaps one of the most effective methods to stay safe from the flu. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds or more. Ensure that you clean the back of your hand, the under-nail area and the space between your fingers thoroughly every time you wash your hands with soap. Using cold or hot water has no impact on the germs. Proper scrubbing for a longer duration makes all the difference.
• Clean your surroundings: Some people might label you as too fussy if they find you cleaning your surroundings often, but that’s a very good practice to stay safe during the flu season. If too many people are touching your door knob during the flu season, it is wise to clean it with sanitiser at regular intervals.
