Effective infection control measures can reduce the incidence of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), protect healthcare workers and patients, minimize the burden on healthcare systems, and contribute to overall well-being and productivity in various environments. By preventing the transmission of pathogens, infection control measures also play a crucial role in containing outbreaks and pandemics. Q3. How can I practice infection control in my daily life?
