cdcgov Each year, respiratory viruses are responsible for millions of illnesses and thousands of hospitalizations and deaths in the United States. The good news is there are actions you can take to help protect yourself and others from health risks caused by respiratory viruses: Keep yourself and your family up to date on routine vaccinations. When sick, stay at home to prevent the spread of illness. Wash your hands at key times, like before eating and after using the restroom. Seek health care right away for testing or treatment if you think you might be getting sick. Treatment for #COVID19 and #flu can lessen symptoms and shorten the time you are sick.
