As COVID-19 resurges, respiratory specialist Su Yifeng mentioned that many elderly confirmed cases are being admitted to hospitals and clinics. The traditional peak season for respiratory viruses used to be in the winter, but now, they are circulating widely in the summer due to the coexistence with viruses after mask mandates were lifted, combined with the discomfort of wearing masks in hot weather. Su urges everyone to endure the heat, wear masks properly, and get through this wave. Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist Zhang Yihao also noted a high number of patients with fever, sore throat, and cough symptoms in clinics, which is atypical for summer. He emphasized the importance of distinguishing between flu and COVID-19 symptoms and advised consulting doctors for accurate diagnoses and treatment recommendations.
