 With the holidays quickly approaching, many are gathering with friends and family to celebrate, but these gatherings could leave vulnerable groups very ill. We spoke with the Pike County Health Director Tammy Riley on how you can keep yourself and your family healthy this season. We're seeing an increase in influenza, RSV, COVID-19, so we want families to gather, but of course we want them to gather safely and healthy so they have a happy holiday. So we have some tips for those that are planning family gatherings. Of course we want individuals to be up to date on their vaccines. That's the best advice that we can give. Stay home if you're sick. Wash your hands often. Wash your hands frequently. Avoid kissing babies around the face and keep that distance from those young ones with RSV season. Also, cover coughs and sneezes. That covers wheels and tires, lift kits, step rails, even underglow like kits and so much more. If you can dream it, we can do it at J&M Custom. The Kentucky Department of Health has seen a rise in COVID, flu and RSV hospital admissions with numbers expected to continue rising following the holiday gatherings. Clearly if you have high-risk individuals, the elderly, the young, individuals with undergoing cancer treatments, any scenario where the immune system would be repressed, those individuals that are at highest risk really need to likely wear a mask or wear a mask when you're around those individuals. If you're going to visit skilled nursing facilities, you would want to make sure you're not sick before you go. Wear a mask to protect those that we care and love about.
