Kalujans told about the main threats of autumn

Since at this time after the summer lull, respiratory infections are again gaining strength, the regional Rospotrebnadzor decided to recall the main risks.

In the first place are traditionally acute respiratory viral infections and influenza.

“The incidence begins to rise in September-October, and peaks in the colder months. It does not lose its relevance and COVID-19. Viruses are transmitted by airborne droplets, and crowding in schools, offices and public transport accelerates their circulation, the ministry said.

Special attention was paid there to intestinal infections of a viral nature. This is norovirus and rotavirus, which are activated more often in children's groups.

Kalujan was assured that most of the autumn risks are managed and controlled by hand-cracking, ventilation, and respiratory etiquette. The most effective means is vaccination.

As reported by “MK in Kaluga” earlier, Kaluga residents were told which infections lead to cancer.
