Influenza A is an acute infectious disease caused by the influenza virus, spread through the respiratory tract and close contact. The environment of offices and schools is a crowded place, the closed space, and continuous contact are favorable conditions for the virus to spread.
Therefore, implementing preventive measures plays an important role in limiting the spread of the epidemic.
The most important thing is to keep your hands clean properly. Staff and students need to wash their hands regularly with soap or antibacterial solution, especially after coughing, sneezing, before eating, after touching a common surface.
Hands are the fastest way to transmit the virus, so maintaining this habit can significantly reduce the risk of infection.
Next, wearing a mask in crowded places is an effective measure. In areas such as elevators, closed classrooms, meeting rooms, wearing masks helps limit drop shots and prevent virus spread.
Schools can encourage students to wear masks during class when cases of illness appear.
In addition, regular surface disinfection is very important. Units should clean tables, chairs, door handles, elevators, and common equipment.
The flu virus can stay on the surface for a few hours, so regular cleaning will reduce the risk of infection.
The working space and classroom need to be well ventilated. Opening windows, using fans or air filtration systems helps reduce virus density in the room. Maintaining an airy environment will help reduce the spread rate during flu peak periods.
For individuals, it is necessary to monitor their health daily. When there are suspicious signs such as fever, cough, sore throat, fatigue, you should immediately report to the school or workplace and take a break. Going to school and work while infected with influenza A will make the virus spread more strongly.
Adults and students should increase nutrition and exercise to increase resistance. Drinking enough water, supplementing vitamin C and getting enough sleep helps the body fight the virus better.
With the coordination of individuals and groups, workplaces and schools can effectively control the risk of influenza A outbreak.
