Numerous Viruses Prevalent In NB

A stubborn cold virus is making the rounds in New Brunswick which for many has lasted several weeks.

Some of the symptoms have included a sore throat, coughing, sneezing, runny nose and congestion.

Acting chief medical health officer Dr. Jennifer Russell says a number of viruses are prevalent right now.

Dr. Russell says a lot of over-the-counter products are available to help minimize the symptoms but she adds nothing will really shorten the duration.

Getting lots of rest, drinking plenty of liquids and eating healthy foods are all recommended.

Dr. Russell says it’s important to get some Vitamin C which tends to help ward off some viruses.
