What is Influenza?
Influenza, or “the Flu,” is a common seasonal infection caused by RNA viruses from the Orthomyxoviridae family. There are four types of flu-causing viruses called influenza viruses: A, B, C, and D. Influenza A and B have been associated with severe epidemics with severe influenza symptoms. In contrast, influenza C causes milder respiratory infections.
What is COVID-19?
COVID-19, caused by a mutated strain of coronaviruses known as SARS-CoV-2, is a highly contagious respiratory infection that was first detected in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Anyone can be affected by Covid-19, but the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions are at a higher risk of developing corona virus severe infections. The virus spreads from person to person through respiratory droplets and aerosols released during coughing, sneezing, breathing, or speaking. World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and a public health emergency on March 11, 2020, due to its high incidence and mortality rate worldwide.
