About COVID-19
COVID-19 is highly contagious. Cases of COVID-19 range from mild to severe. Most people infected with this virus have mild symptoms. Some people who are infected don’t have any symptoms and don’t feel sick but can still transmit the virus to others. More severe cases of COVID-19 have been seen in older adults and those with weakened immune systems or pre-existing health issues. However, serious illness can also occur in younger adults.
About the flu
Flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by the influenza A and B viruses. It infects the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs. There are 2 main types of influenza (flu) viruses: Types A and B. Some people, such as those who are 65 or older, young children, and people with certain health conditions, such as asthma and diabetes, are at higher risk of serious flu complications.
