Winters and influenza

  KARACHI:

 just as the winter season nears by, colds and the flu may also. However, as we face the current struggles arising out of the Coronavirus disease, we may fail to consider the effect of these other daily respiratory diseases. During those chilly weeks, we sometimes notice a spike in the diseases like cold and flu. Such overload of health care also hurts people’s well being, family relations, and puts excessive pressure on medical services.

Therefore we have to stress on preventive actions like vaccination, proper hygienic practices and staying at home if one is ill in order to reduce their contagiousness. In addition, the health authorities can improve public education programmes by informing the public about symptoms, protective strategies and early health seeking. With a sense of community responsibility, we will reduce cold’s burden and the influence upon the welfare of our residents. listade ii.

In such time, my perception on community collaboration matters most because if dealt with preemptively we will be able to establish our better community condition for all.
