All age groups are at risk from Influenza, however young children and older people and people with some health conditions are more at risk. Most health adults will recover from Influenza easily, however people at a higher risk may need further medical treatment.
The virus is spread easily by respiratory droplets when you cough or sneeze, so it is always recommended you cover you mouth and nose when you sneeze or cough. The virus is spread person to person and you can be infected up to a day before you notice any of the above symptoms. |
