Flu season reminders We’re well into autumn now, and as it looks like the flu season will be upon us early this year, it’s a good time for a few reminders about visiting. Older people are more susceptible to many diseases, including the flu and COVID19, and have the highest rate of fatalities from these and many other easily-spread diseases. To protect our vulnerable residents, we ask that you keep these reminders in mind when visiting Finley Regional Care: ·?????Don’t let basic hygiene slip – wash and sanitise your hands before entering, and whenever needed once you are here. ·?????Cover your mouth and nose when sneezing or coughing (even if you’re not unwell) and dispose of used tissues straight away. ·?????Don’t visit if you are experiencing cold and flu symptoms – or consider a zoom visit or phone call instead. Together we can give our residents the best possible chance of staying well, healthy and safe during the colder months this year. #fluseason #getready #staysafe #agedcare

But doctors say there is another culprit in the mix that is more prevalent this year: Walking pneumonia. ? Mycoplasma pneumoniae is an infection which can lead to walking pneumonia.
