Decline in cases of influenza and SARS reported.
Updated Article:
Hey there! Let's dive into some recent health updates from Zabaykalsky Krai, as reported by the local office of Rospotrebnadzor through their Telegram channel.
During the period from April 14th to 20th, a total of 3,435 cases of acute respiratory infections (ARIs) and influenza were noted in the region. This number dropped by 8.1% compared to the previous week. Interestingly, when we look closer at the lab test results, ARI viruses accounted for 71.9% of the cases, while influenza viruses made up 28.1%. Within those influenza viruses, the influenza B virus was predominant.
Now, here's something that caught my eye - there were 7 new cases of COVID-19, which represents a 40% increase compared to the preceding week.
I reckon you might have heard before that the number of influenza cases had decreased, but it's worth mentioning that pneumonia cases among Zabaykalsk residents have seen a rise. It's also pertinent to bring up that the number of Zabaykalsk residents getting vaccinated against influenza has surged in 2024.
If you're curious about where to find more information, here are a few suggestions:
- Visit the official website or dive into the press releases from the Zabaykalsky Krai health department to find local health statistics and updates on diseases like ARIs, influenza, and COVID-19.

- Explore global health authorities like the World Health Organization (WHO) or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for broader updates on disease trends.
