<\/p>\n

Americans are urged to be careful this year as the highly-mutated “Pirola” Covid variant spreads alongside other respiratory viruses.<\/h3>\n

Masking up is recommended for those who are sick and want to take precautions amid rising\u00a0respiratory illnesses<\/a>\u00a0this winter, according to The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).<\/p>\n

CDC Director Mandy Cohen released a video on Wednesday<\/a>\u00a0about how to be careful this year as the highly-mutated\u00a0\u201cPirola\u201d Covid variant<\/a>\u00a0spreads alongside other respiratory viruses in the US.<\/p>\n

Cohen said that respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) cases are \u201celevated\u201d this season, with Covid and pneumonia cases especially on the rise.<\/p>\n

There has been a 1.2 percent increase in Covid test positivity in the most recent week, and a\u00a010 percent increase in hospital admissions<\/a>, according to the CDC.<\/p>\n

The CDC\u2019s mask wearing guidance on their\u00a0Use and Care of Masks page<\/a>\u00a0states: \u201cPeople with symptoms, a positive test, or exposure to someone with COVID-19 should wear a high-quality mask or respirator when indoors in public.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The CDC recommends that people take additional precautions to protect themselves against viruses, like getting the Covid vaccine, the\u00a0flu vaccine<\/a>, and the RSV vaccine for those over the age of 60.<\/p>\n

Cohen said other layers of protection include washing your hands, improving ventilation, and wearing a mask.<\/p>\n

Masking recommendations eased up over the summer, but the CDC seems to be tightening guidance on mask wearing this winter as viruses spread.<\/p>\n

In May, the CDC advised healthcare facilities to take a risk-based approach to universal masking.<\/p>\n
