Influenza cases are expected to peak within a week or two, after which the number of cases will gradually start going down, Assoc. Prof. Iva Hristova, Director of the National Centre for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases said in an interview with Nova TV. “The regions will start coming out of the flu epidemic one by one, but there will be others that will be entering, so we shall be having problems in February as well,” she added.
Type A influenza is currently prevalent, the number of flu B cases is expected to go up within one month. “Flu is much more prevalent than Covid-19 or any other respiratory virus. If we are running a temperature it is much more likely that we have caught the flu rather than coronavirus or any other respiratory infection,” Assoc. Prof. Iva Hristova explained.
Eight regions in the country have declared an influenza epidemic – Sofia region, Plovdiv, Burgas, Pleven, Smolyan, Gabrovo and Pazardzhik.
