Many will want to be “recharged” with a good mood and feel the “touch” of a fairy tale, taking a walk through decorated parks or “visiting” the main New Year tree. However, in order not to find yourself in a hospital bed during the period of acute respiratory infections (ARVIs), a number of recommendations must be followed. In addition, they include behaviour in public places.

During the winter months, in crowded places, you will definitely meet those who cough and sneeze. The cold season is particularly the time when you can catch ARVI most often. Therefore, in order not to get sick, you should avoid public spaces. If you do decide to visit a crowded place, try not to be close to other people. Keep a distance of two metres – no closer than arm’s length.
