The specialist explained: the dirtier the air, the weaker the airways and the higher the risk that their cells can be affected by a viral infection. The doctor said that an easy way to reduce the risk of coronavirus disease is frequent ventilation of all rooms in the house. It is especially important to be able to breathe clean air in the bedroom, where a lot of time is spent every day. “It is important to clean the bedroom from dust. We breathe actively there,”the doctor recommended. Also, Vladimir Bolibok pointed out the importance of regular airing, first of all, of those premises in which a person works, or visited by many people, actively heated. Nowadays, when telecommuting is again giving way to office work, many are asking the question: how can you reduce the risk of contracting the virus at work? Irina Yartseva, an immunologist and allergist, gave recommendations in this regard. In a team, it's quite difficult to keep your distance so that the sneeze or cough of your colleagues doesn't get to you. After all, as you know, when people sneeze or cough, the speed of exhaled air is very high. And if a person has been infected with a virus, he will definitely share it with others in this way. In order to reduce the provoking factors for coughing and sneezing, you need to get rid of dry air. It is aggressive to the mucous membranes of the mouth and nose. A damaged shell is an excellent base for the multiplication of bacteria and viruses. It is necessary to ensure that the mucous membranes are always moist: use, for example, air humidifiers. The mucous membrane of the mouth can be moistened with water, and the nose can be moistened with a mild saline solution.
