The Jerilderie Local Health Advisory Committee would like to thank the Jerilderie community for the way they have embraced precautions needed to cope with the recent health issues that have plagued us this winter.
The season has seen an increase in colds, flu and other respiratory illnesses.
Issues like RSV, Influenza type A, COVID-19, Pneumonia, and even the common cold, can have a serious effect on both young and not so young.
The advice is to keep safe, stay home if you feel unwell, and seek medical advice from your local GP if in doubt.
