The public health institute Sciensano is speaking of an “influenza epidemic” in Belgium.

In particular, in his announcement he notes that “all the criteria are now met to be able to talk about a flu epidemic. Both in general practitioners and in laboratory analyzes and hospitalization, we observe a clear increase in influenza cases. In addition, a number of other viruses, which cause respiratory diseases, are still circulating. This is what happens with the Covid virus and the bronchiolitis virus.”

Virologist Stephen Van Gott, a virologist at Sciensano reports that “besides the flu virus, the coronavirus and the bronchiolitis virus are also widespread, to a lesser extent. For all these viruses, the same good winter habits apply: wash your hands, wear a mask, stay home if you’re sick, and ventilate well. It is always possible to get vaccinated against the flu.”
