Dr. Amir Khan Recommends Open Windows to Reduce Winter Virus Transmission
# Dr Amir Khan Advises on Household Habit to Prevent Winter Viruses
Dr Amir Khan has highlighted a simple habit that can help reduce the spread of winter viruses in homes and schools. He suggests that people should keep their windows open for better ventilation, especially during colder months when respiratory illnesses are more common.
Proper airflow can significantly lower the chance of spreading germs. Khan believes that fresh air is crucial because it can help dilute the concentration of viruses indoors. “Always got a window open! I knew I was right,” said one individual supporting this advice.
In addition to open windows, Dr Khan encourages regular hand washing and wearing masks when feeling unwell. He mentioned that these actions can further protect others from illness. Another person agreed with his views, stating, "So true... I know people who keep the heating on and the windows closed when they have a flu/virus. It drives me mad... fresh air is a game changer!!"
The discussion on ventilation gained more attention during the pandemic. A supporter remarked, “YES!!! Why isn't this common knowledge??? When the pandemic hit, I was so happy because I thought now finally people will learn a few basics. Washing hands, wearing a mask when sick to protect others, and ventilation. But nope.”
Dr Khan's emphasis on these practices aims to encourage communities to adopt better habits and help reduce the impact of seasonal illnesses.
