The Chinese Center for Disease Prevention and Control announced the surveillance status of acute respiratory infectious disease sentinels across the country, and tests for various viruses were carried out on outpatient emergency influenza-like cases and respiratory samples of hospitalized severe acute respiratory infections collected at sentinel hospitals across the country. Surveillance results show that the influenza virus is the main pathogen detected recently. The overall influenza activity in our country is at the medium level of prevalence. This week, the positive influenza virus test rate in all provinces showed a downward trend. The positive rate of respiratory syncytial virus tests is on the rise. The rate of positive rhinovirus tests has fluctuated this week. Positive test rates for the novel coronavirus and other monitored respiratory pathogens are generally low. Currently, respiratory infectious diseases in our country are still in the high season. The influenza epidemic is at a medium prevalence level, and respiratory syncytial virus and rhinoviruses also have a certain level of activity. In order to prevent respiratory infectious disease outbreaks, it is recommended that key institutions and places such as childcare institutions, primary and secondary schools, and nursing homes do a good job of health monitoring, detect and deal with cluster outbreaks in a timely manner, and reduce the impact of the epidemic.
