In June, 3 coronavirus deaths and 75 new infections were recorded in Suriname. The number of infections has increased recently.
This is evident from the recent update of the numbers on Official COVID-19 website Suriname government. The numbers also show that in June, 32 people ended up in hospital and 2 in intensive care.
Many cases of influenza occur during this period, but the distinction between influenza and Covid-19 can only be done by testing for Covid-19.
Influenza comes in different forms and since there are still many Covid-19 infections, it is highly recommended that you get swabbed if you have symptoms and/or signs of influenza. Only by testing will you know what it really is.
Symptoms and/or signs:
- Fever (at least 37.5°C) with no markedly different focus (or feeling feverish)
- cough
- Loss of sense of taste or smell
- Body aches or muscle aches without another apparent cause
- diarrhea or vomiting
- nausea
- exhaustion
- Cold shivers
- shortness of breath
- sore throat
- confusion
- Headache (often relatively orbital)
- Runny nose
