HEALTH TIPS FOR THE FLU SEASON

Investigate various strategies for staying healthy and protecting your family from flu germs.

Taking a few simple steps to stay healthy during flu season can have a significant impact. Influenza can spread from one person to another within 6 feet. Furthermore, the flu is highly contagious. A healthy adult can typically infect others a full day before symptoms appear and up to 7 days after becoming ill. Read on to learn five tips for staying healthy.

Get a flu shot.

The flu vaccine can make staying healthy during flu season much easier. Despite the fact that there are many different types of flu viruses, the flu vaccine can protect against the three or four most common.

Wash your hands frequently.

Washing your hands frequently can help you protect yourself from contagious viruses and stay healthy. Rub your hands vigorously with soap and warm water for as long as it takes to sing "Happy Birthday" twice.

Avoid sick people, and if you are sick, stay at home.

Stay away from sick people if you want to stay healthy. If you're sick, stay at home for at least 24 hours after your fever has subsided. Stay away from work, school, and errands to avoid spreading the flu to others.

If someone in your home becomes ill, clean the sick room with Dettol Disinfectant Spray to help prevent illness spread.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.

You may come into contact with flu germs if you touch a shared surface, such as a doorknob or a table. Because these areas are filled with mucus membranes, make sure to wash your hands first to avoid becoming ill!

Surfaces should be disinfected.

Unclean surfaces spread cold and flu viruses, so keep them as clean as possible with Dettol Surface Cleanser (for harder surfaces) or Dettol Disinfectant Spray (for soft surfaces). Dettol Cleansing Surface Wipes are a quick clean away from disinfected surfaces for everything else.

Maintain general healthy habits.

Staying healthy during flu season is also simple if you get enough sleep, exercise, fluids, and nutritious food on a regular basis. To kill flu germs, disinfect surfaces in your home and at work.
