In areas where there are many people, the risk of contracting infections is increased. To protect yourself and loved ones from infections, you need to maintain good hygiene, boost your immunity and use protective equipment.

Hygiene compliance

Wash your hands regularly after visiting healthcare facilities, schools and other public places. Wash them for at least 20 seconds with soap and water or an alcohol-based product. This will remove viruses and bacteria that cause infections and prevent them from being transmitted.

Never touch your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands. Viruses most often enter the body through unwashed hands.

When coughing or sneezing, be sure to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue. If you do not have a handkerchief with you, cover these parts of your face with your bent elbow, never your hand.

Use of protective equipment

To protect yourself from infections and prevent them from spreading, wear a protective drape in public areas. Make sure it is made of suitable material, covers the nose and mouth when worn , and provides effective protection against viruses and bacteria in addition to mechanical protection.

If you work in a healthcare facility, school or nursery, wear Prolen ® Medical antibacterial and antiviral clothing that is resistant to the transmission of infections. It is permanently treated with an antimicrobial and antiviral treatment based on silver and zinc ions that reduce the risk of infection transmission.

Strengthening immunity

By strengthening your immune system, your body will become more resistant to infections and you will protect yourself and those around you.

Enough sleep

Quality and sufficient sleep is important for the proper functioning of the body and the immune system. The recommended sleep time is 7 to 9 hours.

Exercise

Physical activity helps us relieve stress, which significantly weakens the immune system. In addition, regular moderate exercise helps regenerate immune system cells and reduces inflammation.

Varied diet

Plant-based foods such as nuts, seeds, fruits, vegetables and legumes contain a large amount of nutrients, vitamins and antioxidants that strengthen the immune system.
