As healthcare authorities are reporting an increase in seasonal respiratory illnesses, it’s important to protect yourself and your families from viruses that cause respiratory illness. At 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 11, Dr. Steve Kuriyama will discuss how to protect yourself from these illnesses. The talk will take place at La Colonia Community Center, located at 715 Valley Avenue in Solana Beach. The talk is being held by Solana Beach Community Connections (SBCC).
Kuriyama will talk about some of the most common viruses and the illnesses that they cause. He will describe preventive measures to decrease the risk of infection and some new treatments that can decrease the duration and severity of infection, according to a news release.
