The next time you visit a clinic or hospital, you should keep in mind that it is very easy to catch a disease in such a place.

Therefore, you need to remember safety precautions so that you don’t end up spending weeks in bed feeling unwell.

Alexander Ediger spoke about this in more detail, writes the Public News Service.

The doctor noted that even a short visit to a loved one can lead to infection.

First of all, you should not spend too much time in the ward if you are visiting a loved one. You should choose closed clothes for this. It is better to wash them immediately after the visit.

If possible, avoid touching door handles, elevator buttons, and other surfaces. Any surface can harbor bacteria.

Hands need to be treated with an antiseptic, and the face and nasopharynx need to be washed after the hospital.
