The northern hemisphere is entering the influenza season this year as the weather gets colder. Colds are common, and almost everyone has a cold. But we still cannot ignore the flu. According to statistics from the World Health Organization, 290,000 to 650,000 people die of flu-related causes worldwide every year. Therefore, everyone must pay attention to preventing viruses during the influenza season, especially the elderly and children.

For the prevention and treatment of influenza, people usually will try to take various measures to stay away from viruses in public places. But at the same time, many people will ignore the prevention of the virus transmission at home. It's risky, especially when the family is accidentally cold. In this article, we will talk about the ways to use disinfection products to fight the influenza season at home.

Keep viruses out of your home

It is easy to touch the flu virus inadvertently in public. They always stick to your hands and clothes by contacting transmission or air transmission and enter your homes secretly. Therefore, to keep viruses out of your home, you should start taking action when the moment you get home.

Cash, mobile phones, and autumn and winter coats are common channels for viruses to enter your home. When you arrive home, disinfect mobile phones and wallets with UV sanitizer boxes first. If not, wiping them with alcohol wipes is ok. This will kill the viruses too. Then replace the coat and clean it in time (Disinfected with UV sterilization lamps or other clothes sanitizing methods.) Finally, don't forget to wash your hands. Doing these well will stop the flu viruses from following you into your home from the public.

Stop virus's transmission at home

Fighting the flu not only needs to prevent the virus from entering your home but also to prevent the virus from spreading at home. We cannot guarantee that everyone in our family will not catch the flu. And when a family catches the flu, it is necessary to prevent the virus from spreading to other family members, especially the elderly and children.

During fall and winter, when the temperature outside drops, we tend to spend more time indoors with both windows and doors closed to keep the cold away. While this is a great way to stay warm, the lack of ventilation is detrimental to indoor air quality since it allows the virus accumulates to induce people's illness more easily. UV air purifiers and HEPA air purifiers are effective ways to solve this problem. These machines reduce the virus and bacterial concentration in the air by killing or filtering. With that, they keep the air of good quality and reduce the risk of people being infected.

Note that do not disinfect the indoor air of the home environment with an air sterilizer which can produce ozone. Ingestion of ozone is harmful to the human body. These devices are not suitable for running while people are in the room. Especially in autumn and winter, indoor lack of ventilation then ozone is more likely to cause danger.

When conditions permit, when people are not in the room, regularly use high power UV sterilizer light or appropriate spray disinfection agents to disinfect the whole house. This can reduce the stay and accumulation of viruses and bacteria on the surface of the object and further ensure the health of the family.

For family health, do not ignore the risk of flu. Are you ready to fight the flu season?
