Cold? Flu? RSV? Disinfect with Clorox This Season

Similar to last year’s cold and flu season, experts in the U.S. predict a peak around New Year’s Day. Hospitals here could face additional challenges as flu season overlaps with COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses, making it crucial to focus on stopping the spread in schools, workplaces, hospitality settings and healthcare settings.

Parents are especially concerned. More than two-thirds (69%) of parents worry that their kids will bring home germs from school, and more than half (54%) expect to get sick from their kids.

At work, it only takes one sick person spending two to four hours in the office to spread germs to more than half of the surfaces that people touch. Download the Office Wellness Toolkit to learn best practices for preventing the spread of illness-causing germs in office spaces.

The CDC’s updated respiratory guidance emphasizes staying home when sick, cleaning and disinfecting to maintain hygiene, and proper ventilation to reduce the spread of respiratory viruses like COVID-19, flu, and RSV.
