Winter has arrived and it brings with it the onset of cold and flu season. During this time, it is important to take extra precautions to prevent the spread of these illnesses. Colds and flu are often spread through respiratory droplets that are released when an infected person coughs or sneezes. In an indoor environment, these droplets can linger in the air or on surfaces for several hours, making it easy for others to become infected.
To help prevent the spread of colds and flu indoors during the winter months:
Practice good hygiene
Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, and avoid touching your face with your hands. Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, and dispose of the tissue immediately. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow.
Stay home when you’re sick
If you’re feeling under the weather, it’s important to stay home and avoid contact with others. This will help prevent the spread of illness to others, particularly those who are more vulnerable to infection.
Ventilate your space
Opening windows and doors can help improve air circulation and reduce the concentration of respiratory droplets in the air. If it’s too cold to open windows, consider using a fan to circulate air or using a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter.
Clean regularly, especially frequently-touched surfaces
Surfaces such as doorknobs, light switches, and countertops can harbour germs and viruses. Use a disinfectant cleaner to wipe down these surfaces frequently to reduce the risk of infection.
