OUTREACH
Don't get sick this season!
- Breathing cold air reduces our noses' ability to fight off viruses.
- A 2022 study found that reducing the temperature inside the nose by as little as 9 degrees Fahrenheit kills nearly half of the virus-fighting cells in our nostrils.
- In addition to protecting you from inhaling viral particles, wearing a mask over your nose and mouth can prevent you from breathing in the cold winter air, keeping your nose warm and protecting vour virus-fighting cells.
- Keeping your home warm and humid can protect your nose's virus-fighting cells.
- Indoor heating dries out the air, allowing viruses to spread more easily.
- When indoor air is dry, there are fewer water molecules available to slow down particles expelled through coughing and sneezing.
- Using humidifiers indoors during colder months may reduce the spread of respiratory viruses.
Improving indoor ventilation by opening doors and windows, investing in high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, or building your own Corsi-Rosenthal box can also reduce the spread of airborne respirator viruses indoors.
-
During the holiday season, we spend more time gathering indoors, giving our bodies more opportunities to encounter germs.
-
If you still haven't received an updated COVID-19 vaccine, flu shot, and RSV vaccine (if you're eligible), schedule an appointment today at Vaccines.gov.
-
Wearing a high-quality, well-fitting mask indoors protects you from all kinds of viruses, including COVID-19, the flu, and RSV.

The CDC says washing your hands regularly can prevent one in five respiratory infections
