Rising Cases of Rubella: Symptoms and PrecautionsFri 17th May, 2024Rubella, a common yet often underestimated viral infection, is experiencing a resurgence, posing significant risks, especially for pregnant women. Typical rubella symptoms include a red facial rash, fever, and flu-like symptoms similar to those of a coronavirus infection. Recognizing the symptoms and understanding the risks associated with rubella can help expectant mothers take necessary precautions and seek prompt medical advice if infected.
