Influenza fact sheet

Influenza (flu) is a highly contagious respiratory illness. Influenza is more serious than the common cold and severe cases can result in breathing difficulties and pneumonia.

If you have flu symptoms, or have been diagnosed with influenza, it is important to stay home and avoid contact with others until your symptoms have gone.
