Union County Issues Flu Advisory
Plus, eight preventative actions residents can take.
This release was submitted by Union County. The State of New Jersey is currently in the grip of one of the worst flu seasons in recent memory. With this in mind, the County of Union urges all residents to be aware and to take precautionary and preventative measures. Flu viruses are thought to spread mainly from person to person through the coughing, sneezing, or talking of someone with the flu. Flu viruses also may spread when people touch something with flu virus on it and then touch their mouth, eyes, or nose. People infected with flu may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5-7 days after becoming sick. That means you may be able to spread the flu to someone else before you know you are sick as well…
