Today (January 14), the National Health Commission held a press conference and invited relevant experts to introduce the prevention and treatment of winter respiratory diseases in my country and health tips.
Wang Dayan, director of the National Influenza Center of the Institute of Viral Diseases of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, said that recent data from the multi-channel monitoring system shows that the national new crown epidemic is still at a low level after the New Year's Day holiday. Among them, the positive rate of new coronavirus testing in sentinel hospitals remains below 1%, and the proportion of JN.1 mutant strains is showing an upward trend. Experts believe that my country will continue to experience alternating or co-epidemic trends of multiple respiratory pathogens, and influenza viruses will still dominate in the short term. Affected by multiple factors such as the continued import of foreign JN.1 mutant strains, the gradual decrease in domestic influenza activity and the decline in population immunity, the new coronavirus infection epidemic may rebound this month, and the JN.1 mutant strain will most likely develop into a dominant epidemic strain in my country. .
