Jakarta (ANTARA) – Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin said that the body’s immune system determines the level of exposure to various types of influenza disease, including Singapore flu or what is known as Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD).
“If we get an infection like flu, the important thing is that our immune system is not weak,” said Budi Gunadi Sadikin at the Presidential Palace in Jakarta, Thursday.
He said influenza has many variants that continue to mutate, such as H1N1 or swine flu, H5N1 or bird flu, and Singapore flu.
“The most common one is not the Singapore flu, but the common flu. There is H1N1, H5N1, there are lots of variants and the flu never stops mutating,” he said.
Based on the results of data analysis, said Minister of Health Budi, Singapore flu is not a deadly variant like bird flu.
“So once again, don’t sleep less, eat less. That will ensure endurance,” he said.
The Indonesian Ministry of Health reports that Singapore flu cases have recently increased significantly. Monitoring until the 11th week of 2024, a total of more than 5 thousand patients were infected with Singapore flu.
Director of Health Surveillance and Quarantine at the Ministry of Health, Achmad Farchanny Tri Adriyanto, said that this record increased compared to the previous year in the same period.
This is believed to be related to a trend that is currently hitting the neighboring country, Singapore, which is also reporting a similar phenomenon.
