Gwangju to see increasing flu cases
Gwangju City recently called for caution against respiratory diseases as the number of suspected influenza (flu) patients is increasing rapidly.
According to statistics from the city, the proportion of influenza-suspected patients from May 7th to 13th was 16.2 per 1,000 people visiting the doctor. It is 3.3 times higher than the epidemic standard of 4.9.
Influenza symptoms include a sudden fever of 38 degrees or higher, cough, and sore throat. It is necessary to visit a medical institution when suspicious symptoms occur and to wash one's hands with soap in running water for more than 30 seconds to prevent spreading disease.
