IMPACT OF LIFESTYLE ON IMMUNE RESPONSE

- Maintaining a healthy weight

...

AVOID TO TOUCH YOUR FACE WITH UNCLEAN HANDS
ESPECIALLY THE MOUTH, NOSE AND EYES

Studies show that individuals touch their faces with their hands in average
8 to 23 times per hour

IN TIMES OF HIGH EPIDEMY AVOID CROWDED PLACES AND POORLY VENTILATED AREAS – LIKE PLANES AND CROWDED PUBLIC TRANSPORTS

 During travels the transmission of respiratory infections is facilitated in closed/semi-closed settings through
direct person-to-person contact or from contaminated surfaces.

If possible walk, cycle, drive a car, or go early or late to avoid rush hour crowding on public transport. 

WHAT IS THE CORRECT WAY TO USE DISPOSABLE MASKS?

Consider wearing a mask inside an airplane, confined spaces, or where there are confirmed cases of infection

ELEMENTS TO CONSIDER IN CASE OF A LARGE EPIDEMIC OR FOR THE CASE A GOVERNEMENT WOULD LOCK DOWN A REGION

As we see in China and Italy, governments can impose to the population to stay at home for a number of days.

Preparedness for such an instance:

1

PREPARE

for at least 14 day supply of food, water and hygiene supplies                        

2

CHECK

medication and other health supplies to have enough in hand. Be sure that all medical prescriptions, medical insurance and important documents are in place

3

FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN

prepare for closed schools and kindergarten

4

HAVE

a reserve in cash at home. Have your car full tanked and prepared for transport                         

5

TAKE CARE

for those who depends on help (disabled, sick, social weak) to get them prepared

6

PREPARE

a communication plan between family members or friends in case of emergency or social isolation

7

DOWNSCALE

your travel in public

8

WHERE POSSIBLE
