Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection (RSV)
Kia ora,
We are currently seeing high rates of Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection (RSV) in Hawke’s Bay and ECE’s have been affected. The hospital had a very busy weekend with RSV causing significant illness in children.
RSV presents as cold/flu-like symptoms but can cause more severe infections like pneumonia or bronchiolitis.
If you are seeing higher than normal absenteeism rates due to respiratory symptoms let me know.
I’ve attached further information about RSV:
https://www.cdc.gov/rsv/high-risk/infants-young-children.html
https://www.cdc.gov/rsv/about/symptoms.html
https://www.cdc.gov/rsv/about/transmission.html
https://www.cdc.gov/rsv/about/prevention.html
As for any cold-like symptoms you should:
Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue or your upper shirt sleeve, not your hands
Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
Avoid close contact, such as kissing, shaking hands, and sharing cups and eating utensils, with others
Clean frequently touched surfaces such as doorknobs and mobile devices
And the Ministry of Health advice remains the same – anyone with COVID symptoms needs to get tested (this also includes RSV and Flu).
