Abstract:
Since the global pandemic of COVID-19, different countries have implemented various prevention and control measures, which has affected the epidemic characteristics of respiratory infectious diseases such as influenza. From 2020 to 2021, the level of influenza activity was relatively low, but it is necessary to be alert that with the adjustment of national prevention and control measures, influenza may have a relatively strong epidemic rebound. In order to deal with influenza epidemic, experts were organized to publish a series of influenza studies in this issue, suggesting that influenza prevention and control cannot be underestimated during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is suggested to carry out research on the interaction between COVID-19 and influenza to explore the epidemic characteristics of the disease, develop new technologies and tools to improve the efficiency of monitoring and early warning, identify obstacles to vaccination, promote the scientific implementation of intervention measures, and achieve joint prevention and control of multiple diseases.
