预防春季感染

Prevention of Virus Infection in Spring

春天是万物复苏的季节，也是各种传染性疾病高发的时节。春季常见的传染病有流感、水痘、诺如病毒、风疹等。

虽然病毒种类繁多，但只要重视预防工作，做到早预防、早发现、早诊断、早治疗，就能有效阻止传染病的流行与传播。

Spring is a season of renewal, but also a time when infectious diseases spread more easily. Common spring illnesses include influenza, chickenpox (varicella), norovirus, and rubella.

Although there are many types of viruses, we can effectively reduce the spread of infection by taking early preventive measures and seeking timely medical attention.

Common Spring Infections

Influenza

Flu is an acute respiratory illness caused by the influenza virus. It spreads easily and has a high infection rate. Symptoms include fever, headache, runny nose, sore throat, dry cough, and muscle aches. Fever usually lasts 3–4 days.

Varicella / Chickenpox

Chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus. It leads to low fever and red rashes that turn into small blisters. Good hygiene and avoiding crowded places can help prevent it.

Prevention Measures

Different diseases require different treatments, but prevention starts with everyday habits. Follow these steps to protect yourself and others:

Personal Hygiene

Wash hands often. Change clothes regularly.

Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing. Do not spit.

Food Safety

Avoid raw or undercooked food, including seafood and meat.

Peel fruit before eating. Drink only boiled water.

Environmental Hygiene

Remove express delivery packaging at the pickup point—do not bring it indoors.

Dispose of waste daily. Sort and discard it properly.

Indoor Ventilation

Open windows regularly to keep indoor air fresh.

Avoid Crowds

Avoid crowded indoor spaces with poor airflow.

Boost Immunity

Get sunlight, drink water, and eat fruits and vegetables.

Maintain a balanced diet.

Exercise regularly—walk, jog, do gymnastics, or practice tai chi.

Healthy Routine

Keep a regular schedule. Avoid staying up late or overworking.

Stay warm to avoid catching a cold.

Seek Medical Help

If you have a fever or feel unwell, see a doctor as soon as possible.

Prevent early. Detect early. Treat early—let’s stay healthy this spring!
