Beijing, Nov 26: Vaccination remains the most effective preventive measure for senior citizens, especially those with underlying health conditions, a health expert said on Sunday.
Li Yanming, head of the respiratory and critical care medicine department at the Beijing Hospital, stressed the importance of maintaining a proper temperature and humidity in the home environment at a press conference in Beijing.
If the home environment is overly dry, it is also not conducive to respiratory health, according to Li. She also reminded older adults to avoid crowded and enclosed spaces and advised them to wear masks outdoors.
