The Department of Disease Control says RSV cases are in an upswing since August, with children under 5 most affected. RSV spreads through coughs, sneezes and contaminated surfaces. For a business, this mainly means possible staff absences for sick children and some sick-leave planning. The obstetric college says pregnant women can get a vaccine that passes antibodies to the baby, and that it is recommended year-round. There is no specific antiviral treatment, so prevention and early medical checks for infants matter.
