Feeling under the weather with a cold? Many grew up believing it's best to push through and head to work or school anyway. But Belgian flu expert Prof. Marc Van Ranst advises against it: "It's better not to work if you have a cold."
Stay Home to Curb Spread
Van Ranst shared this on the radio, stressing: "Even if you're not really sick, you'd better stay home." This simple step prevents colds from spreading further. Heading to work despite symptoms? He calls it "not brave, but selfish."
Practical Concerns from Self-Employed
The self-employed organization NSZ counters that staying home for a cold isn't always feasible. They ask: "Shouldn't you stay home if your partner or children have a cold?"
