To respond appropriately at the first signs of illness, it is important to know the difference in symptoms. Influenza often begins with a sudden rise in temperature, followed by a cough, runny nose, or sore throat. COVID-19, on the other hand, usually starts with respiratory symptoms, and fever may occur later.
Doctors emphasize that self-medication is unacceptable. At the first symptoms of SARS, you should consult your family doctor. Patients should take care of the safety of those around them: stay at home, use individual dishes, and wash their hands thoroughly.
Vaccination remains the most effective protection against COVID-19. The vaccine is free and is especially recommended for people in high-risk groups. You can get the vaccine from your family doctor or at vaccination points at medical facilities. Currently, all regions have a sufficient supply of free vaccines. To ensure access to vaccinations, mobile teams from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continue to work in remote communities.
