Child-friendly space for children's health series "Flu, is it terrible?"

Influenza (referred to as influenza) is an acute respiratory infection caused by influenza virus. It is also a highly infectious and fast-transmitting disease. It is mainly transmitted through droplets in the air, person-to-person contact, or contact with contaminated items. The autumn and winter seasons are in high season, so the child-friendly space invites the deputy chief nurse of the Nursing Department of the former Luzhou People's Hospital to spread the common sense of "flu" to parents and children in the community. A total of 10 families participated in the activity, with 30 direct beneficiaries and 120 indirect beneficiaries. The activity was carried out at the Women and Children's Home of Chengbei Community Comprehensive Service Center in Quzhou City.
