German infection specialist Oliver Witzke said that adherence to health requirements is the best way to protect against infectious respiratory diseases, such as colds, flu, and even the Coruna virus.
Dr. Weitzke explained that for this purpose, hands should be washed with soap for a period of no less than twenty seconds on a regular basis, taking into account the cleaning of the spaces between the fingers and the back of the hand as well.
Hand shaking should be avoided as much as possible, and away from people who suffer from coughing and sneezing, as germs travel through the spray. It is also important to receive influenza vaccination.
Fitzke stressed the need to consult a doctor when suspected of infection with the Corona virus, the symptoms of which are dry cough and shortness of breath, as well as cold, fever and severe fatigue.
