swine flu and Hyderabad

This is not new, but should be helpful for the readers.

As they say, Precaution & Prevention is always better than cure.

• Wash your hands frequently, with soap. To make it most effective, rub the soap lather for 20-30 seconds
• Avoid touching places like door knobs, railing on an escalator etc and wash hands after touching them
• Avoid touching your nose, eyes or mouth as these are the ways virus might infect you
• Avoid hand-shakes
• Avoid crowded or public places like bus-stops, stations, malls etc
• Eat healthy – more vegetables, fruits, protein rich food
• Sleep well- 8 hours a day to rest your body appropriately
• Avoid long journeys / laborious physical work
• Avoid travel to cities which are hit badly by the virus, like Pune, Mumbai, Chennai, Ahmedabad. If needed, use masks.Stay home as much as possible. Weekends need not be celebrated by outing

Another piece of information I found while talking to the doctor mentioned above is that the masks used for prevention are available at surgical shops in the city. Also he informed me that when you buy a mask, ask for 3 layered mask. That is the best one recommended.
