Wear a proper surgical mask during flu season because the number of cases shoots up during the summers and monsoon seasons.
Always cover your face while coughing or sneezing. Ensure others around you also follow the same practice, especially if they re down with cold.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth too often
Always wash your hands before and after eating and particularly after returning from a public place.
Remember the virus can also spread through droplets that have settled on surfaces so avoid touching them if you re around a person who has flu like symptoms.
