As seasonal viruses continue to rise in Mississippi, health officials are urging the public to take precautions to protect themselves from the flu, COVID-19, norovirus, and RSV. Respiratory viruses are currently at high levels in over 35 states, including Mississippi and Arkansas, due to a combination of cold weather and close contact among people. Anthony Carter of the Family Medicine Residency Clinic has observed a significant increase in cases and emphasizes the importance of social distancing, hand hygiene, and getting vaccinated to prevent the spread of these viruses. He recommends annual flu vaccinations and RSV vaccinations for pregnant moms to protect newborns. Minnie Jamerson, a resident of Greenville, stresses the need for practicing safe health procedures during this critical time. With the rapid spread of viruses, health officials advise individuals experiencing symptoms to seek testing at local health departments and immediate medical attention. Stay up to date with health guidelines and take necessary precautions to safeguard yourself and your community from the ongoing surge of seasonal viruses.
