What worries experts most is that the nations in the southern hemisphere may suffer the double attack of swine flu and human flu, and that poor countries with systems fragile public health could be complicated.
14) Finally, the two most important measures will for a long time to wash your hands and community participation.
Not much to say about the act of washing hands.
But for community participation, it is clear that the new virus can be defeated by an organized and united community.
15) Specifically, what can the community?
- Do not create panic.
the contrary, bring serenity and tranquility to disseminate information and knowledge.
- If you present a high fever suddenly, cough, headache, muscle and joints, you should go immediately to your doctor or health center.
- Wash your hands frequently is very important.
- warmly and avoid sudden temperature changes.
- when you cough or sneeze on others to do so and if you cough on your hands, wash them immediately.
- When you sneeze, cover your mouth with the angle of the arm, not your hand.
- Avoid places of concentration of people.
- Do not share food, cups and cutlery.
- Ventilate and allow the entry of sun into the house, offices and all enclosed places.
