Infection Prevention Week, doctor appeals to citizens: Hygiene is essential

On Infection Prevention Week, doctors appeal for increased attention to personal hygiene and the surrounding environment.

Infectious disease physician at the QSUT, Esmeralda Meta, emphasizes that viruses are divided into several types, and for the most common ones, she appeals for vaccination, which is usually done during this period.

"Various infections have a great impact on public health, especially the outbreaks of epidemics and pandemics, which show the impact of infections on public health at the same moment or period of time. Various infections have a great impact on public health. They are numerous and have different consequences. We have community and hospital infections.

In both cases, sensitivity must be high. We are surrounded by microorganisms that sometimes behave as normal and other times as pathogens. Children, but also the third age groups, who suffer from chronic diseases or diseases that reduce immunity, should be especially careful. For all respiratory infections that have vaccines, such as the flu, Covid, vaccination is recommended in certain periods such as the autumn or winter period," said doctor Esmeralda Meta for Report TV.

Doctor Meta stated that during the outbreak of such infections, it is recommended that these risk groups consider avoiding crowded places, using masks, and maintaining personal and environmental hygiene.

"During periods of outbreak, personal and environmental hygiene is essential, using masks, avoiding crowded environments, etc. Sexually transmitted disease infections are also important. These infections are life-threatening, but they also impair the quality of life and even have consequences for infertility. By respecting these measures, we minimize the chances of contracting infections and transmitting them to others," concluded doctor Esmeralda Meta.
