The flu is coming!

This summer, many questions arose with the approach of influenza season. What would influenza mean during the COVID-19 pandemic? Would having one make a person more susceptible to the other? Would identification and isolation of COVID-19 positive patients become more difficult with the addition of influenza cases? Or would the introduction of physical distancing and mask wearing decrease the rates of influenza? 

Well we are starting to get some answers. The World Health Organization’s surveillance influenza rates are coming back lower than in previous years worldwide. The southern hemisphere’s seasonal influenza levels stayed low. The northern hemisphere’s inter-seasonal levels also stayed low. Only in South East Asia was an increase in influenza cases reported. 

These numbers should be taken in context, understanding that the realities of COVID-19 have affected surveillance activities. Influenza cases are likely being missed as people are seeking medical care less often during the pandemic. The constraints of the pandemic have also limited influenza surveillance testing abilities and testing priority. 

Given these factors, the WHO still acknowledged that the lower levels of influenza are likely due to hygiene and distancing measures meant to decrease COVID-19 transmission. We will have to wait and see if COVID-19 and influenza will overlap in any further ways.
