What to Do If You Have Flu
Most people with the flu have mild illness and do not need medical care or antiviral drugs. If you get sick with flu symptoms, in most cases, you should stay home and avoid contact with other people except to get medical care.
If you are planning an international trip, you should consider getting travel insurance to cover yourself against accidents or illness while you’re abroad. Even if you already have medical insurance back home, it may not cover you when traveling outside the United States, or if it does cover you that coverage may not be enough.
Rubella is a contagious disease caused by a virus. It is also called “German measles,” but it is caused by a different virus than measles. For some people—especially pregnant women and their unborn babies—rubella can be serious. Make sure you and your child are protected from rubella by getting vaccinated on schedule.
In the United States, there have been 13 confirmed cases of COVID-19 reported. CDC provides updated information on the number of persons under investigation in the United States online on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
