With Fall comes the start of respiratory virus season.  Below are some reminders from the CDC on how we can keep ourselves and our families safe this season.

Prevent Respiratory Viruses by:  

• Staying up to date with immunizations

• Practicing good hygiene (practices that improve cleanliness)

• Taking steps for cleaner air

• When you may have a respiratory virus:

  • Use precautions to prevent spread

  • Seek health care promptly for testing and/or treatment if you have risk factors for severe illness; treatment may help lower your risk of severe illness

Additional prevention strategies include: 

• Masks

• Physical distancing

• Tests

Prevent  the Spread of Respiratory Viruses by:  

• Staying  home and away from others if you have respiratory virus symptoms that aren't better explained by another cause. These symptoms can include fever, chills, fatigue, cough, runny nose, and headache, among others.

• Going back to  your normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both are true:

  • Your symptoms are getting better overall, and

  • You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication)

• When you go back to normal activities, take added precaution over the next 5 days, such as taking additional steps for cleaner air, hygiene, masks, physical distancing, and/or testing when you will be around other people indoors.
