Before COVID-19, Queensland had about 38,000 diagnosed cases of each year. With all the measures put in place to reduce the spread of COVID-19, the flu numbers dropped to just 296 in 2021! A dramatic decrease!!
As we move into the living with COVID phase and restrictions eased, it is still very important to minimise the spread of COVID- 19 in Queensland. However, influenza (the flu) and other respiratory viruses can also spread easily in places where many people gather such as schools, shopping centres and public transport. With the winter season approaching these viruses are even more like to spread.
Influenza – the flu – is not simply a head cold. Typical flu symptoms include fever, cough, muscle aches and pains, nasal congestion, headache, sore throat, and fatigue. Most people improve in a week, but for some, the flu can have serious health effects. Complications from the flu can be deadly.
Please consider the following:
- If you are feeling unwell it is very important to stay at home until symptoms resolve.
- Get vaccinated in both influenza and Covid 19 to help reduce the severity of the viruses.
- Remember the importance of good hand hygiene particularly after using the rest rooms and before and after eating.
- Familiarise yourself to the health Guidelines implemented by Queensland health and education Queensland should you be tested positive to Covid 19
