Description
Summary:Global influenza virus circulation declined and has been below traditional seasonal levels during the COVID‐19 pandemic. 1‐3 After learning of increased influenza virus circulation in some tropical Asian countries, we reviewed current surveillance data to better ascertain risk for an influenza resurgence during the 2020‐2021 Northern Hemisphere influenza season and subsequent seasons during the COVID‐19 pandemic. [...]maintaining surveillance and outbreak response is essential to track the geographic spread and obtain viruses so vaccines remain optimized to circulating influenza viruses.
