Peak flu season is approaching, and it is important to know the signs and symptoms of the flu in case you become ill. Being aware of flu symptoms is especially important this year, as we continue to battle the COVID-19 pandemic. Respiratory illnesses such as the flu, COVID-19, and the common cold share similar traits, which can make it difficult to determine why you don’t feel well. Early diagnosis is key to your treatment and recovery. (DHS Video by OCHCO/Released)
