"There is a possibility of an increase in coronavirus infection due to the cold in autumn and winter. Because as the weather cools, people are more likely to be indoors than outdoors. This also increases the risk of contact. We must first protect the distance and use a mask to wait for this risk. "
The statement came from Vasif Aliyev, head of the working group on infectious diseases, Gadin.Net reports.
According to him, the rules must be followed in all enclosed spaces:
"In order to prevent the spread of infection, in closed and crowded places, it is necessary to wear a mask and observe social distance. Whether it is trade facilities or other places, access to a certain number of people should be limited. Not many people can enter such places at the same time. This includes metro stations and other vehicles, especially buses.
The head of the working group added that it is recommended to be vaccinated against influenza in the autumn-winter season to prevent diseases.
Aliyev also said that if the population follows the rules, the restoration of access to the regions will not be a problem:
"I do not think the situation will get worse if the people follow the rules," he said. You can protect yourself from this virus by waiting at a distance and wearing a mask. ”
