Health bosses are urging people with symptoms of respiratory illnesses to avoid other people. The region has seen an increase in the number of cases of respiratory illnesses, as well as coughs and temperatures and an increase in hospital admissions among the most vulnerable.
Nurse consultant in health protection, Fiona McKinnon, said: “We do see increases in respiratory infections at points throughout the year. “This year, there has also been an increase in people with whooping cough across the UK and we would like to provide some advice on reducing the spread of respiratory infections. “Some of the symptoms that we are seeing are similar to a cold-like illness; sneezing, sore throats along with headaches and all-over body aches. “If you’re experiencing a respiratory illness, there are some simple things you can do to help reduce the spread to other people.
I’d encourage everyone to follow these actions and to think of others, including those who might be a bit more vulnerable.” People with symptoms should avoid other people and only go back to normal when their fever has passed and they no longer need medication.
People with respiratory symptoms are also asked not to visit people in hospitals and care homes. Other advice involves using tissues and disposing of them as soon as possible and regularly washing your hands.
