Stay home

By going out when you're sick, you could aggravate your health problems and take a much longer time to recover. Thus, it's best to stay at home to give yourself the chance to recuperate. You should put off your regular activities since your body requires time and energy to fight against the flu virus.

Your respiratory and immune systems can suffer even more damage if you go back to your regular routine too quickly. Even while you want to go grocery shopping or start the week's load of laundry may be great, you would be doing yourself a disservice. Put off running errands until you start to feel better by staying home from work or school. Staying at home not only helps in your recovery but also stops the flu from spreading among your neighbors and coworkers. It's crucial to keep your distance from others while you're contagious because the flu can be dangerous for young children and elderly people.
