Diving into the waterhole at Vodokhreshcha is not an effective means of preventing acute respiratory viral infections. For unhardened people, this journey can end in a hospital bed. It is necessary to harden gradually, every day. It is worth using vitaminized healthy food. Regularly ventilate the room and do not forget about wet cleaning. If you feel the signs of a cold - stay at home.
If you need to leave the house, wear a mask.
