COVID-19 is making a comeback in the United Kingdom, where hospital admissions due to flu have reportedly increased by 40%.
According to a report by British media, various respiratory viral infections have begun spreading with the onset of winter, increasing the burden on healthcare facilities.
The latest figures indicate a rise in hospital admissions among people infected with COVID-19 and seasonal influenza, particularly elderly people and patients suffering from chronic illnesses.
Health experts say that people spending more time indoors during winter, combined with falling temperatures, increases the transmission of viruses, allowing infections to spread rapidly.
Health authorities have warned that failure to focus on precautionary measures and vaccination rates could place severe pressure on emergency medical services and intensive care.
