Medical Information
Every year, flu epidemics can affect people of all ages, but the most vulnerable are children under the age of two, adults over 65, and people with certain chronic illnesses.
To limit the spread of seasonal influenza, it is essential to adopt simple preventive measures on a daily basis to reduce the circulation of the flu virus, particularly in community settings and on public transportation, where it spreads easily.
- Avoid close contact with people who have the flu, especially if you are vulnerable or at risk.
- Wash your hands regularly with soap and water.
- Do not share personal items such as glasses, cutlery, and, of course, toothbrushes.
- Air out your home every day for 10 to 15 minutes to renew the air and prevent the spread of viruses.
- Clean common germ hotspots such as door handles, remote controls, and phone screens.
These simple actions can help protect you and those around you during flu season.
