The Covid virus is once again becoming a threat to the entire world. Active cases of Corona are increasing every day.

Let's know from the experts how we can recognize the difference between them.
Dr. Ankit Gupta at AIIMS, New Delhi says that cases of flu occur every year during the winter season. This problem happens to a person of any age. In some cases, flu symptoms can lead to pneumonia. Such a problem is more common in children.
As far as flu symptoms are concerned, flu causes body aches and fever. Fever can be both mild and severe. Most people recover from the flu in two to three days. During the flu, there are also problems like nasal congestion and runny nose.
Features of the new variant JN.1
Dr. Ankit explains that the symptoms of the new Covid variant JN.1 are almost flu-like, but in some cases the patient may experience difficulty in breathing. People who are over 60 years of age and have a pre-existing medical condition are at risk of developing this problem.
When to take the test?
If you have a common cough, cold, and fever, it could be the flu. If it clears up on its own in two to three days, there is no need to get tested, but if you have recently been in contact with someone infected with Covid and you are experiencing flu-like symptoms, get a Covid test. should
