Speaking about the current influenza in China, Guo, the spokesman, said winter is usually the season with a higher frequency of respiratory infections in the Northern Hemisphere, and influenza viruses are one of the common pathogens.
“At the moment, the scale and intensity of infectious respiratory disease epidemics in China are lower than those of the same period last year,” Guo said.
He emphasized that the Chinese government has always attached great importance to the health of its own people and foreign nationals in China.
In addition to the country’s sentinel surveillance of a wide range of acute respiratory infectious diseases and the publication of the results, China’s experts in disease control have also introduced scientific protective measures on many occasions, he noted.
China also maintains close communication with the WHO to share timely information on respiratory diseases, he added.
