Posted on 28 Month 11 2023

In China, especially in northern provinces such as Beijing, Liaoning, and Tianjin, the number of cases of respiratory diseases, mainly caused by influenza viruses, is increasing sharply.

Chinese health authorities are strengthening examination and treatment measures to prevent the disease from spreading widely.

China's National Health Commission confirmed that recent respiratory infectious diseases are mainly caused by influenza viruses. Some cases are caused by Rhinovirus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae bacteria, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and the common Adenovirus. The country's health sector emphasized that localities need to make efforts to increase the number of clinics and treatment areas, appropriately extend service delivery times and increase assurance of drug supply. In addition, it is necessary to do a good job of disease prevention and control in crowded places such as schools, childcare facilities and nursing homes.

Leading Chinese epidemiologist Wang Huaqing recommends that vaccines are still one of the effective ways to prevent respiratory infections caused by viruses or bacteria such as measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox.

The vaccine provides high protection against more than 40 respiratory infections. China's National Health Commission warns of the risk of a resurgence in flu cases, including COVID-19.

Localities need to increase timely and accurate reporting of infectious disease cases. According to experts, seasonal flu will peak in winter and spring, while the number of cases of pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae bacteria will continue to increase in the near future.
