TRNC authorities warns public to protect themselves against flu

The TRNC Health Ministry urged people, particularly in “high risk” categories, to have a flu jab as the best way to protect themselves against flu.

The warning comes as hundreds of people are going to hospital daily with flu or chest infections with 34 people diagnosed with pneumonia, as it was reported that vaccinations against the seasonal outbreak are down. 

Health chiefs have said there is no need for alarm, and that the annual outbreak is no worse than normal and “as expected” between October and March.
