Public health officials are warning people to prepare to flu season.
Public Health Isle of Man says cases are rising earlier than expected in the UK, and Manx residents should be vigilant.
Director of Public Health Dr Matt Tyrer says you can protect yourself with good hygiene, keeping homes well-ventilated, and staying at home if you feel unwell.
And he's urging people to get their flu jabs this year, adding it's the best way to protect against serious illness.
