Influenza is one of the most common infectious diseases, especially in the fall and winter seasons. Dr. Khaled Al-Nimr, consultant and professor of cardiology and arterial catheterization, sheds light on the vital role that masks play in preventing this disease.
The virus spreads through normal breathing
Dr. Al-Nimr points out that an influenza patient, even with normal breathing, is able to spread the virus in a circumference of up to 180 cm. This highlights the importance of taking effective preventative measures, especially in enclosed spaces where ventilation can be limited.
Dr. Al-Nimr adds that sneezing increases the distance the virus spreads, making it more dangerous. When you sneeze, the virus can spread far beyond 180 cm, making surrounding people more vulnerable to infection.
The role of masks in reducing infection
In light of these data, Dr. Al-Nimr stresses the importance of wearing masks as a preventive means. Masks reduce the possibility of spreading the virus, especially in crowded and closed places. Using masks not only protects other people, but is also a social responsibility towards public health.
Dr. Al-Nimr stresses the importance of health awareness about ways to prevent influenza. It is necessary to spread awareness about how the virus spreads and the measures that must be taken to protect against it. Health awareness can play an important role in reducing infections and maintaining public health.
Wearing masks is a simple and effective way to help limit the spread of influenza. It is not only a matter of personal protection, but also a contribution to public health and community welfare. Dr. Al-Nimr points out that taking these simple preventive steps can have a significant impact in reducing the spread of infectious diseases such as influenza.
