Original title: foreign media: Europe faces the threat of "double epidemic" of new coronavirus and influenza
Reference News Network reported on January 17 that according to Reuters Brussels, the influenza that almost disappeared in Europe last year made a comeback this winter, raising concerns about the "double epidemic" of the new crown and influenza.
European Union data show that last winter, measures such as sealing the city, wearing masks and maintaining social distance became normal during the period of COVID-19, so the flu that killed 650 thousand people worldwide is temporarily dormant. However, with the wide vaccination of the new crown vaccine, countries began to relax epidemic prevention measures, and the situation has changed.
The European Center for Disease Control and prevention reported this month that since mid December 2021, the spread of influenza virus in Europe has exceeded expectations.
PASI pentinin, chief influenza expert of the European Center for Disease Control and prevention, said that the return of influenza virus may mark the beginning of an unusually long influenza season, which may last until this summer.
The report of the European Center for Disease Control and Prevention said that the "double epidemic" may add more pressure to the already overburdened health system. (compiled / Xiong Wenyuan)
