With Covid and flu cases on the rise and the holiday season approaching, now really isn’t the time to get sick. However, many simple actions can limit the risk of contracting a disease. Europe 1 reminds you of the actions to take to be in shape during the end of the year celebrations.
Christmas is in a week. But seven days is also the incubation time for a lot of microbes. Now is really not the time to get sick. Europe 1 reminds you of the actions to take to be in shape during the end of the year celebrations.
Put the mask back on, avoid gatherings, ventilate…
The first thing to do is to put the mask back on in all closed places: in the open space, during your Christmas shopping, and of course in transport. The only one that really protects you when others aren’t masked is FFP2. Until December 24, you will avoid gatherings. For example, on Sunday, it is better to watch the World Cup final at home in a very small committee and not in a crowded bar. For the simple and good reason that all viruses, whether gastro, flu or Covid are transmitted by droplets. So refrain in the coming days from going to parties or concerts.
Get back to good habits, ventilate for ten minutes every hour and wash your hands often, for at least 20 seconds to really dislodge the germs. Finally, get vaccinated against the flu and Covid at the same time, it’s possible. The very first weeks after vaccination, the risk of infection is slightly reduced.
