We see flu epidemics every year except the last two as covid measures covered all other respiratory diseases. And the competition between viruses themselves is fierce, but that period is over. Now we await the return of the flu. This was stated by the Chief Inspector of the State Health Assoc.Angel Kunchev.
“There have been some reports that perhaps the outbreak will be a bit more intense, mainly from the Southern Hemisphere – Australia and New Zealand. The US is reporting a slightly earlier start of the flu epidemic in North America, but for the At the moment I don’t know to see something more dramatic, something different or a more serious course. It will probably be a normal epidemic,” Prof. Kunchev explained to BNT.
According to him, the first influenza isolations have already appeared in our country, but in other years there have been more cases. Now they are not so intense. Like all viruses, the flu spreads very easily. An acceleration of the process is expected. The end of January and the first week of February are expected to be the peak of the epidemic. Kunchev also said that even now we can be immunized against the flu.
