‘Not Covid’ lurgy spreading across Ireland as flu cases almost double within a week
Many people across Ireland are coming down with a bug that “feels like Covid but isn’t” in the run-up to Christmas.
Someone else commented: “Yep. Really bad head cold for over a week now, lost my voice from a sore throat for 6 days and it has only just started to come back but my head is still all congested.” A spokesperson for the HPSC said: “Based on recent influenza surveillance data, influenza is circulating in the community in Ireland. People in at-risk groups are urged to get vaccinated against influenza and it is recommended that antivirals be considered for the treatment and prevention of influenza in at-risk groups due to the continued increase in levels of flu.
