Tulyaks explained how to behave in transport during the cold season

In the season of increasing incidence of influenza and SARS, respiratory etiquette should be observed - simple rules of behavior in public places that reduce the risk of spreading airborne infections.

As explained in the Department of Rospotrebnadzor in the Tula region, when coughing or sneezing, you need to turn away from people and use a disposable handkerchief, and if it is not - cover your mouth with an elbow bend or sleeve.

After that, you need to wash your hands with soap or treat with an antiseptic. It is impossible to sneeze in the palm of your hand: the pathogens of infection remain on your hands, which are transmitted through handrails, handles and elevator buttons.

In addition, you should avoid close contact with patients, hugs and handshakes, do not touch your face with unwashed hands and wear a mask in crowded places. In the cold season, it is better to visit crowded places less often, wash your hands more often and wipe your phone and other gadgets with an antiseptic.
