The high temperature and the very persistent nature of this season's flu have increased the flow of visits to all health centers. The number of young patients seeking help from pediatricians at neighborhood centers has exceeded 150 every day, writes A2 CNN.
Even the doctors' rooms in this virus season are never empty. Almost all the cases are similar, children tired from high fever, resistant even that lasts for days. For the leaders of Public Health we are not dealing with an unusual situation. Silva Bino, the head of infectious diseases at the IHP says that we are in the season of flu and other respiratory infections, just like all European countries.
Type A influenza and its subtype AH3N2 dominate, to which the population is less immune, as AH1N1 has dominated in recent years. Experts say there is still time to vaccinate the population against influenza, which also provides protection against type A in circulation.
The Minister of Health has gathered health structures regarding measures to cope with visits and emergencies from the flu epidemic. Officially, over 19 thousand affected people are reported per week, but the figures are much higher than that. Meanwhile, emergencies and hospitalizations from flu complications have also increased in hospitals. Meanwhile, the peak of the epidemic is expected in the next two weeks with more cases in all age groups. (A2 Televizion)
