Health prevention accessible to everyone
In winter, many viruses are circulating. They are spread mainly through droplets and contact with contaminated hands or objects (elevator buttons, doorknobs, toys, etc.).
The main illnesses associated with these viruses are the flu, the common cold, nasopharyngitis, gastroenteritis, and bronchiolitis. COVID-19 is also still circulating.
Preventing Winter Illnesses
Simple preventive measures can reduce the risk of infection. Vaccines can also protect against certain viruses (such as the flu).
