Don’t share food or drink

This is because “bacteria passed between others is at an all-time high during festivals”, says Dr Perry. Although it might be tempting to accept a sip of someone’s Aperol spritz in the heat of a Saturday afternoon, it’s probably not worth having to sniffle your way through your favourite act the next day.

Sleep whenever you can

We all know just important sleep is and although it can be difficult to get any kind of shuteye at festivals, it is possible – and it could be the thing that ensures your body is able to fight off any illnesses. A midday nap counts, don’t forget. And while you’re stocking up on multivitamins, maybe invest in some ear plugs too.

Don’t touch your face

Dr Perry’s final tip is to avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth as much as possible. Remember that pandemic-era government slogan: “Hands, face, space”? It might be a good thing to say to yourself as you’re dancing to the headline act this Saturday night if you want to avoid having a blocked nose on top of a hangover on Sunday morning.

If you do end up catching a cold or virus, make sure to spend some time resting and looking after yourself when you get home and speak to your GP if you’re worried about your symptoms.
