The UK must ensure Covid and flu are not allowed to run rampant simultaneously this winter, a top health official has warned.
Health officials across the northern hemisphere are worried about a bad flu season because natural immunity is lower after last year’s lockdown prevented significant outbreaks. Covid is still circulating in high numbers despite good vaccine coverage – and flu could be on the way ‘So I think it’s an uncertain winter ahead – that’s not a prediction, it’s an uncertain feature – but we do know that flu cases have been lower in the previous year so immunity and the strain types are a little more uncertain.’
She said officials are still ‘taking [the virus] extremely seriously’ despite persistently high mortality rates.
