Macau flu rate still low, gov’t doctor says

Public health doctor and division head at the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Leong Iek Hou, has disclosed that amid a slight increase in the numbers of patients with fever or respiratory symptoms, the local flu infection rate has gradually fallen to 8%. Meanwhile, the infection rate for Covid-19 has also dropped to nearly 0%. She said it is unclear when this flu season will arrive because of the change in immune habits after three years of Covid-19. She suggested people receive flu shots before travelling.
