“Flurona” is not a new type of COVID-19 or flu, it’s when people have both viruses at the same time.
It’s not common for people to have both viruses at once, but it certainly can happen. When you get sick, your immune system is working hard to make sure that you get better. But, during that time, you are more susceptible to other viruses.
What can you do to protect against both viruses?
- Mask up
- Get vaccinated against both viruses
- If you have symptoms, get tested. You can’t know for sure what’s making you sick without a diagnostic test.
- After getting tested and receiving a positive diagnosis, you may be eligible for flu and/or COVID-19 antivirals to make you feel better!
