Infections

These illnesses affect the nose, throat, ears, chest, and sinuses.

We’ll call them ‘infections’ for short.

Did you know a regular cold is also a coronavirus? Although it can cause more serious problems, we catch COVID-19 in a very similar way to coughs, colds and other infections. So, things we do to reduce the number of these infections may also help with COVID-19.

Infections:

  • Make you feel rubbish.
  • Can mess up a week or two of normal life each time they strike.
  • Can spread to family and friends.
  • Can cause serious problems for people with health conditions.
