Health officials are warning that this year’s flu season could be much worse than the previous two years as a “surge” in Covid cases is expected as people drop recent protective measures.
Global leaders are calling on governments to ensure an “agile response” is in place to cope with the predicted increase in winter illnesses.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) has said it is too early to predict which countries will face the brunt of flu season but that health systems need to be ready.
