KFL&A Public Health reveals top tips to fight back
As the cold and flu season heats up, KFLA&A Public Health is urging the public to take multiple layers of protection to prevent the spread of respiratory illnesses.
The health unit recommends getting vaccinated as soon as vaccines are available and consulting with a healthcare provider or pharmacist.
Masking when symptomatic or visiting high-risk areas like hospitals and long-term care facilities is also advised.
Staying home when sick and washing hands frequently are simple but effective measures. Public health emphasizes protecting vulnerable populations such as seniors and infants by avoiding high-risk areas whenever possible.
By following these steps, individuals can reduce the spread of illness and help keep their communities healthy throughout the season.
