Keep Yourself and Your Family Healthy Going into 2023

OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — As we end 2022, flu activity continues to increase nationwide.

Family Medicine Physician Dr. Cynthia Fisher at ThedaCare in Oshkosh shares some tips to keep you and your family safe.

“Certainly the Christmas holiday was a time for gathering for many people and with gatherings can come respiratory illnesses,” said Fisher. “A lot of people consume food during the holidays, so it’s a good idea to wash your hands — in fact, before you touch your face, you should always wash your hands. And, of course, cover your cough or sneeze.”

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, about 70% of inpatient beds are in use across the country.
