flag Winter 2025 brings rising cases of flu, COVID-19, RSV, and colds, with health officials urging vaccines, testing, and hygiene to curb spread.

flag As winter approaches in 2025, health officials warn of a surge in respiratory illnesses including COVID-19, flu, RSV, and the common cold, all spreading more easily indoors. flag Symptoms overlap, but flu often hits suddenly with high fever and body aches, while COVID-19—now mainly caused by Omicron subvariants XFG and NB.1.8.1—can cause cold-like symptoms, fatigue, and loss of taste or smell, with higher risks for older adults and immunocompromised individuals. flag RSV commonly affects young children and older adults, causing coughing and breathing difficulties, while the common cold brings milder, gradual symptoms like runny nose and sore throat. flag Experts urge vaccination, testing, and hygiene to reduce spread and support timely care.
