If you have a temperature or a cough, follow this link to the Welsh Government website to find the current guidance for people with symptoms of a respiratory infection, including Covid-19.
Flu is usually managed by resting at home, keeping warm and drinking plenty of water. You can take paracetamol (follow the advice in the packet and do not take more than the recommended dose), to lower a high temperature and relieve aches if needed.
However, if you are in a high-risk group you should speak to your GP surgery or local pharmacy straight away if you think you might have flu, as they may recommend a course of antiviral medicines.
To help stop flu and other viruses spreading, remember to:
Catch it
Use a tissue when you sneeze or cough.
Bin it
Put the tissue in the bin as soon as possible.
Kill it
Wash your hands or use hand sanitiser.
