Q: What should be the focus of prevention for H1N1 influenza?
A: As a respiratory infectious disease, the prevention of H1N1 influenza should focus on three points:
staying away from the source of infection, blocking the transmission route, and enhancing one's own immunity. For those who show symptoms such as discomfort, fever, and cough, citizens should avoid close contact with them.
In daily life, wearing a standard surgical mask can help block the invasion of the flu virus; it is worth emphasizing that ordinary gauze masks cannot effectively block the virus. The flu virus often attaches to objects and infects the human body through our hands. Washing hands frequently with special hand wash or soap can also effectively prevent the infection of the flu virus. In addition, in daily life, we should also pay attention to opening windows for ventilation frequently, and avoid going to crowded public places.
