Preventing Infectious Diseases and Staying Healthy

To prevent infectious diseases, it is important to wash your hands frequently and practice good cough etiquette. Keeping the air from getting too dry is also important — be especially careful during winter when the air tends to dry out easily. In addition, try to eat nutritious meals and get enough rest to strengthen your immune system. When going out, take steps to reduce your risk of infection, such as avoiding crowded places.
