Flu and corona agreements
There are many similarities between flu and corona . In many cases, this makes it difficult to determine which virus you are carrying. For example, with both virus infections you can suffer from fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, a runny nose and muscle aches. Both viruses are also spread via droplets (for example by coughing or sneezing), via hands and via contact with mucous membranes.
Older people and people with underlying conditions are among the main risk groups in both cases. Furthermore, the flu and corona can both cause pneumonia, respiratory problems and bacterial infections.
Differences flu and corona
However, there are also differences between flu (the influenza virus) and corona (the coronavirus). With corona, loss of smell and taste is more often detected and there may be intestinal complaints. Furthermore, with covid-19 it can take longer before you actually develop complaints, which can be 2-14 days after infection. In the case of the flu, this is usually 1-4 days after infection.
Flu or corona in young children
It can also be important for young children to know whether they have the flu or corona. Young children do belong to the risk groups with the flu, that is not the case with corona. If the result of the test shows that your child is infected with Influenza A or B, you can take it further into account.

Flu or corona in the workplace
The corona pandemic is a major challenge for companies. In addition to all the measures, companies will also have to deal with more loss due to illness. In the flu season, not only do the corona infections increase, but the absence of staff due to the flu also increases. In both cases, you want to prevent an outbreak as much as possible. A flu or corona infection among a large group of employees can have major consequences for companies.

Timely and in some cases periodic testing of personnel can help to prevent downtime by detecting and isolating infections from both corona and influenza in a timely manner.
