Health Advisory: Surge in Seasonal Illness

The San Antonio Metropolitan Health District has released a public health advisory following a significant spike in influenza cases across Bexar County. Data indicates that emergency room visits for respiratory symptoms have surpassed previous seasonal peaks, primarily driven by the H3N2 variant. Metro Health officials advise residents to:

• Practice rigorous hand hygiene and cover all coughs or sneezes.
• Stay home from work or school if experiencing fever or flu-like symptoms.
• Seek medical care early, particularly for high-risk individuals such as children and seniors.
