Preventive Measures for RSV and Covid-19

Viral respiratory tract infections are one of the most common types of infection worldwide. Viruses can affect anyone, but in general viral infections are more prevalent in children.

For influenza and common colds, symptoms may last for several days and may include coughing, runny nose, sore throat, fever, and nausea.

Viral infections like Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) and Covid-19 can be more serious, lasting more than a week and sometimes causing life-threatening symptoms. To reduce the spread of illness and lower your risk of serious complications, follow these simple preventive measures:

1. Wash your hands often for 20 seconds.
2. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
3. Cover your mouth and nose when you sneeze and cough.
4. Wear a quality face mask.
5. Avoid close contact with an infected person.
6. Get vaccinated.
7. Keep your immune system healthy with vitamins, regular exercise, and a healthy diet.

Viral respiratory infections are a major cause of illness and death and are one of the top reasons for emergency room visits and hospitalizations.
