If you recently traveled to an affected area, or had close contact with someone who recently traveled to an affected area and was sick; and you have a fever, cough or trouble breathing, call your healthcare provider immediately! For COVID-19 updates, visit vdh.virginia.gov/surveillanc…

Sick with the #flu? Know what to do! Stay home and avoid close contact with others, except if you need medical care. Prescription drugs called “antivirals” can lessen symptoms and prevent complications, if started early. go.usa.gov/xVngW

Is it a cold or #flu? Both are respiratory illnesses, but are caused by different viruses. Learn more about the differences between the common cold and flu. go.usa.gov/xVngD

Most people with #flu will have mild illness and do not need medical care. However, stay alert for emergency warning signs of flu sickness, such as difficulty breathing. go.usa.gov/xVngk

More than 100 cadets and local EMTs participate in the 9/11 memorial stair climb this afternoon in barracks. The event, led by the VMI Firefighting Club, replicates the 110 floors climbed by 9/11 responders in the World Trade Center, 18 years ago today. #rahvamil #neverforget

Hurricane Florence is now CAT 4. All areas along the coast and inland should begin planning for heavy rain that could last several days, starting locally late Thursday. Winds, mudslides, tornadoes and power outages also possible as the storm moves inland.
