At present, in the critical period of prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention reminds the general public that the following points should be paid attention to to prevent the occurrence of influenza.

◆ Cold protection and warmth

Winter weather is changeable, so it is necessary to take cold and warm measures in time according to the weather conditions, such as adding clothes and bedding in time to avoid reducing immunity due to colds.

◆ Reasonable meals

Strengthen nutrition, pay attention to rest, and maintain scientific and reasonable living habits. Ensure an adequate supply of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals.

◆ Insist on exercising

Strengthen physical exercise and do more outdoor activities. Every day, you can carry out some exercises with a more appropriate amount of activity, such as walking, cycling, jogging, playing tai chi, etc., to enhance the body's resistance.

◆ Ventilation in the living room

Indoors should keep the air circulating and fresh. Ventilation is done regularly every day.

◆ Avoid contagion

During an influenza epidemic, minimize or refrain from attending large gatherings and group events, and go to or without public places as much as possible. If you have a flu patient in your home, take protective measures and wear a mask when in close contact with the patient.

◆ Vaccinations

Influenza vaccines should be given promptly, especially in young children, students, the elderly, people with chronic diseases and staff in public places. Because influenza viruses mutate quickly, the type of epidemic usually varies from year to year, so annual influenza vaccination can achieve a preventive effect. (Leaf Yao Guowei / Finishing)
