I guess all of you are wondering a lot about the latest A(H1N1) hype just like myself…
Sad to say that due to this disease outbreak, I have recently decided to cancel my trip to Macau and Hong Kong (I know, what a waste, right?).
I have to admit that there are no ‘full proof’ techniques to combat this disease. However, there are several preventive measures that you can take to avoid being infected by this disease.
From my reading and understanding, here are some of the ways to avoid the A(H1N1) disease:
1) Always wash your hands
2) Close your nose and mouth when you sneeze or cough with a tissue and dispose the tissue immediately
3) Don’t touch your mouth, nose or eyes
4) Stay away from people who are sick
5) If you are sick/not feeling well, stay at home.
6) Delay your travel trips, especially overseas travel trips if you are not feeling well
7) Avoid using the same cutlery and glasses with others
8) Avoid going to crowded and enclosed areas. If this cannot be avoided, wear a mask to cover your nose and mouth.
9) When attending to a sick person, also wear a mask to cover your nose and mouth.
10) Use hand sanitizers as frequent as possible.
I hope these tips will be useful to you.
Cheers,
Caroline
