The scientists compared the virus with the H1N1 outbreak which infected more than 12,000 South Africans and killed 90 between July and October in 2009.
The scientists warned that surveillance strategies should evaluate the possibility of people becoming simultaneously infected with Covid-19 and seasonal influenza, “as co-infections could potentially increase disease severity and mortality”. This made it critical that models for its transmission should be drawn up “in the context of rapidly changing individual, social and structural determinants in SA”.
The scientists said the initial 100 deaths from H1N1 were in the more affluent population and linked to travel, as they were with Covid-19.
