【Flu Guide】Understanding Influenza: Definition, Symptoms, Prevention & Response

Flu prevention:

Vaccination

This is the most effective way to prevent the flu, especially for high-risk groups such as the elderly, young children, and those with chronic illnesses.

Practice good hygiene

  • Wash your hands frequently, especially after touching objects in public places. 
  • Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze and discard the tissue immediately. 
  • Avoid touching your eyes, mouth, and nose. 

Maintain good indoor ventilation

Opening windows frequently to allow air to circulate helps reduce the spread of viruses. 

Get enough rest and a balanced diet

Boost your immune system and help fight viral infections. 

Stay home from work or school if you are sick

If you have flu symptoms, stay home to rest and avoid infecting others. 

Wear a mask

Wearing a mask in crowded places can effectively reduce the spread of droplets.
