Despite the rise in RSV, Raethel said there's no need for alarm and added that while COVID and flu cases are popping up, they aren't that bad either. "Flu tends to impact us a little later in the year, or early into the new year, so that at this point in time for any of the respiratory diseases we're in good shape," Raethel explained. He's advising everyone to keep that in mind as they gather for the holidays. "It's a season of celebration. So we can take some precautions. If you are sick or if you do have symptoms, just excuse yourself. You know, don't go or if, or at least, at the very least, wear a mask. But please be mindful of your families, of your co-workers, people around you."
