State health officials are urging Californians to take steps to protect themselves from circulating viruses this winter, including the flu, COVID-19 and respiratory syncytial virus.

State residents are encouraged to get vaccinated against COVID and the flu if they are eligible and seek treatment for either virus if necessary.

Those who are sick are also encouraged to stay home and wear a mask indoors, particularly to protect children from RSV, for which there is no vaccine.
