RSV

Covering coughs and sneezes and washing your hands can help prevent infections, according to the New York City health department.

New York City health commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan offers advice for facing and treating the tripledemic.

The city is averaging about 1,100 daily emergency department visits due to flu-like illness, which is double the number from late October.

The New York State health department says it doesn’t release public data on pediatric hospital capacity, leaving parents less informed about their options as RSV, the flu and COVID-19 thrive.

While some are calling this moment a ‘tripledemic,’ RSV stands out from COVID-19 and the flu when it comes to its symptoms, its prevention, and its treatment.
