People who have not travelled are now contracting it,” Prof. Hristova added.
“A very big wave is approaching, the peak will probably come by the end of January. We have four new cases of confirmed influenza AH3N2 virus. Very few samples are being sent to be tested for influenza, because everyone is monitoring the coronavirus, but even these few samples show that the flu is in the country, that it is spreading,” Prof. Hristova said.
