Dr. Koren said that while some patients are coming in with only the flu, COVID or RSV, there are some patients who are testing positive for two of those viruses at the same time.
As we approach Christmas and new year’s, it should come as little surprise that medical experts say numbers of reported cases could worsen as friends and families gather together. Jacksonville Clinical Research Director Dr. Michael Koren said he’s been receiving hospital status reports on infection spikes.
Koren said that while some patients are coming in with only the flu, COVID or RSV, there are some patients who are testing positive for two of those viruses at the same time. He recommends social distancing during holiday gatherings — staying about four to six feet away from others.Koren says if you’re not vaccinated against COVID or the flu, you should strongly consider getting a shot. If you are vaccinated and boosted, but it’s been a while since you had a booster shot, consult with your physician to see if it’s appropriate to get another booster, especially if you have a pre-existing medical condition that could worsen as a result of a COVID infection.
