Winter illnesses such as colds, flu, whooping cough, and the stomach bug are on the rise, particularly with significant surges in norovirus cases. Alexis Smithers, an advanced practice provider at Legacy-GoHealth Urgent Care, emphasizes the importance of hygiene and disinfection practices to mitigate the spread.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
The surge in norovirus outbreaks underscores the critical need for robust hygiene and disinfection measures. For those in the technology and app development sectors, there’s a significant opportunity to create solutions that can assist healthcare providers and individuals in maintaining high standards of cleanliness. Mobile apps could be developed to offer real-time guidance on effective sanitation practices, reminders for regular disinfection, and up-to-date information on local outbreak status.
