Summary of This Week
 Influenza ： The influenza epidemic has reached its peak. In addition, the ER
consultation rate for influenza-like illness has decreased. Currently, H3N2 is the
dominant strain circulating in the community, followed by H1N1 and type B, both of
which have become more active. As schools have been reopening, health education
concerning cough etiquette and hand hygiene should be strengthened to prevent
possible outbreaks.
