People in high-risk groups should be protected due to the rapid spread of the influenza virus, according to health experts.
The greatest impact, according to Dr. Rohini Wadanambi, President of the Sri Lanka Institute of Microbiological Specialists, is on young children and the elderly.
People can develop severe sore throats and fevers as a result of the spread of this influenza virus, so it is critical to always wear face masks and keep hands clean.
