5h agoSunday is the first day of the Lunar New Year and with people coming
together to celebrate, doctors are urging people to stay safe against
illnesses.
More than 1 billion people celebrate the Lunar New Year each year
across China, Eastern Asia, and the United States with celebrations lasting up
to 15 days.
Doctors say you can never be too safe when gathering with friends
and family members that may be more at risk of illnesses like COVID-19 and RSV.
“If you have a cold, you have sneezing, sore throat, you have
fever then try not to go,” said Dr. Henry Chen, President of SOMOS Community Care.
Dr. Chen says most people have been vaccinated against both covid
and the flu which increases protection amongst themselves and others this Lunar
New Year.
