Key preventive measures include vaccination, following health recommendations, frequent hand washing, ventilating enclosed spaces, and avoiding tobacco consumption.
The Department of Health reminds the public of the importance of recognizing symptoms such as fever, cough, chest pain, or difficulty breathing, and seeking medical attention for any suspicion, particularly in vulnerable individuals. Early diagnosis allows for the initiation of appropriate treatment and reduces the risk of complications.
