Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
COVID-19, flu (influenza), and RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) are all contagious respiratory illnesses but are caused by different viruses. You cannot tell the difference between these illnesses by symptoms alone. Talk to a healthcare provider about getting tested for COVID-19/Flu/RSV if you have symptoms and are at higher risk of developing severe illness.
