SSI also claims that there is a reasonable chance of a simultaneous COVID-19 and influenza pandemic occurring.
This can lead to an increase in the number of hospitalizations, especially among the elderly and people in risk groups.
The good news is that the SSI estimates that the risk of a triple epidemicโone that would also include an RSV epidemicโremains relatively low.
SSI recommends getting a flu vaccine and following good hygiene practices, as well as limiting contact with others if you show symptoms of the flu.
