The Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) is reporting high levels of flu activity statewide, urging residents to take precautions to protect themselves and others.
Health officials remind Hoosiers to follow the “Three Cs” to help reduce the spread of illness:
-
Cover coughs and sneezes
-
Clean hands frequently
-
Contain germs by staying home when sick
According to IDOH, individuals experiencing flu-like symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, or fatigue should contact their healthcare provider for guidance and care.
The department emphasizes that taking simple preventive steps can help protect vulnerable populations, including young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.
Residents are encouraged to stay informed, practice good hygiene, and take symptoms seriously as flu activity remains elevated across Indiana.
