Recent clusters of respiratory infections are caused by an overlap of common viruses such as the influenza virus, rhinoviruses, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and adenovirus, as well as bacteria such as mycoplasma pneumoniae, which is a common culprit for respiratory tract infections, a National Health Commission spokesperson said.
Efforts should be made to increase the opening of relevant clinics and treatment areas, extend service hours and increase the supply of medicines, said the ministry spokesperson, Mi Feng.
The emergence of new flu strains or other viruses capable of triggering pandemics typically starts with undiagnosed clusters of respiratory illness. Both Sars and Covid-19 were first reported as unusual types of pneumonia.
