The National Health Commission held a press conference today to introduce the situation relating to the prevention of respiratory infectious diseases in the fall. According to information, influenza is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by the influenza virus. Currently, there are 3 subtypes of seasonal influenza virus. People are generally susceptible. The prevalence is high in autumn and winter, and summer epidemics will also occur in southern provinces. Influenza is different from the common cold. Systemic symptoms of influenza are relatively severe, especially children, the elderly, and people with chronic diseases. The risk of severe illness or other complications is high. Relevant research evidence shows that the annual influenza epidemic can cause 3 million to 5 million severe cases and 290,000 to 650,000 deaths related to respiratory diseases worldwide, posing a serious threat to health. Since July of this year, H3N2 subtype A and Victoria B have become popular all over the country, accounting for a similar proportion. Recently, there has been a slight increase in H3N2 subtype A, which prompts us to protect ourselves well in advance.
