It’s Flu Season: How to Stay Healthy
Staying Healthy During Flu Season
December is the peak of flu season, which also happens to be one of the busiest times of the year. With the holidays just around the corner, you undoubtedly want to make sure that you and your family stay healthy and avoid the flu so that you can enjoy your holiday plans. Keep reading for our tips on how to stay healthy during the peak of flu season and how a paid Flu Symptoms Clinical Trial can help if you are experiencing flu symptoms.
Avoid Close Contact
If you want to avoid getting the flu, one of the best ways to do it is by avoiding close contact with people. You can practice 2020 COVID-19-era rules by allowing 6 feet between you and the person closest to you, wearing a mask, and staying home as much as possible.
Symptoms typically begin about two days (but can range from one to four days) after influenza viruses infect a person’s respiratory tract. If you want to make sure you stay healthy for the holidays, stay home and avoid close contact for at least a few days before your holiday plans.
Practicing Good Hygiene
Another one of the best tips for avoiding the flu this holiday season is to practice good hygiene. Wash your hands regularly, avoid touching your face (especially your mouth, nose, and eyes) and use hand sanitizer regularly. Clean your surfaces regularly, wash your hands as soon as you get home, and clean doorknobs regularly to prevent illness.
Tips for preventing the flu at work include:
- Find out about your employer’s plans if an outbreak of flu or another illness occurs and whether flu vaccinations are offered on-site.
- Routinely clean frequently touched objects and surfaces, including doorknobs, keyboards, and phones, to help remove germs.
- Make sure your workplace has an adequate supply of tissues, soap, paper towels, alcohol-based hand rubs, and disposable wipes.
- Train others on how to do your job so they can cover for you in case you or a family member gets sick and you have to stay home.
- If you begin to feel sick while at work, go home as soon as possible.
