It's July already which means we're in the middle of the annual flu season. There are multiple influenza strains spreading in the community at any given time, and while having the yearly flu vaccination helps, it doesn't cover all the strains floating around. That's why particularly in light of COVID-19, we should all be mindful of having useful promotional items on hand to help avoid the dreaded flu.

Staying Safe in the Pandemic

In the midst of a global pandemic, it is our responsibility to take all necessary precautions to stay safe. This includes:

• Washing your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing;
• Using hand sanitizer that contains at least 70% alcohol when soap and water are not available;
• Avoiding close contact (6 feet or closer) with people who are ill;
• Covering your nose and mouth while out in public by wearing a mask;
• Cleaning frequently touched surfaces such as doorknobs on a regular basis;
• Staying home if you're feeling unwell

Additionally, practice social distancing--maintaining at least six feet of distance even around family members who aren't sick. It's also important to remember to get 8 hours of quality sleep every night instead of overworking yourself, drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day (especially hot tea or tumeric elixirs), and only eating foods that boost immunity such as garlic-filled recipes. Lastly, many health experts recommend doing meditation exercises regularly to remain centered during this difficult time so one can handle stress better now and in the future.

Choosing The Right Custom Winter Goods

The most important thing to keep in mind when selecting products to promote well being during the flu season is that you need to provide items your recipients will find useful. Right now customers are particularly happy to receive items like branded hand sanitiser because it can help rid their hands of germs while they're in transit. Disposable face masks are also quite popular because of a price reduction amidst the growth of Victoria's COVID-19 cluster.
