From mid-January, a peak rise in the incidence of acute respiratory viral infection and influenza is expected, the chief health officer, Gendarbek Bekshin, warned about the expected second wave of influenza and influenza-like diseases, ortcom.kz reports.
“Why? Because our citizens will go abroad and bring the most imaginable and not imaginable strains. And what is the flu, what is ARVI, which is spread by airborne droplets? There are no borders for these infections, because they can start in the incubation period, then it spreads like a wildfire, ”said Gendarbek Bekshin during a press conference in the CCS.
