Recently, the weather in Beijing has become colder, and the level of influenza virus activity has increased compared with the previous period. However, it has not exceeded the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 epidemic seasons, dominated by the influenza B virus.
In the winter, the risk of respiratory cluster outbreaks such as influenza in collective units such as schools and childcare institutions increases significantly.
