What is the difference between flu & COVID-19?

Flu and COVID-19 are both contagious respiratory illnesses but caused by different viruses. COVID-19 is caused by infection with a coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and flu is caused by infection with influenza viruses. Some symptoms of flu and COVID-19 are similar and may be hard to tell them apart. Testing can help confirm if you are sick with flu or COVID-19. 

Will there be flu and COVID-19 this fall and winter?

It's not possible to say with certainty what will happen in the fall and winter, however the CDC believes it's likely that flu viruses and the virus that causes COVID-19 will both be spreading.

Can I have flu & COVID-19 at the same time?

Yes. It is possible have flu and COVID-19 at the same time. 

Is there a test that can detect both flu & COVID-19?

Yes. CDC has developed a test that will check for seasonal flu viruses and SARS CoV-2. Testing for these viruses at the same time will provide important information about how flu and COVID-19 are spreading and what prevention steps should be taken. If you think you have flu and COVID-19, call ahead to the clinic you plan to go to and ask if they are capable of testing for both illnesses. At this time, we do not have this test available at the Health Division.

Will a flu vaccine protect me from COVID-19?

Getting a flu vaccine will not protect against COVID-19, however flu vaccination has many important benefits. Flu vaccines help reduce the risk of flu related illness including hospitalization and death. Getting a flu vaccine will not only reduce your risk from flu but also lessen the burden on the healthcare system this fall and winter.

If COVID-19 is spreading in my community, should I still go out and get a flu vaccine?

Yes. Getting a flu vaccine is crucial to protect you and your family's health. When going to get a flu vaccine, follow CDC's recommendations for running essential errands and doctor visits.

Yes, it is safe.
