We compared indicators of influenza activity in 2020 before and after public health measures were taken to reduce coronavirus disease (COVID-19) with the corresponding indicators from 3 preceding years. Influenza activity declined substantially, suggesting that the measures taken for COVID-19 were effective in reducing spread of other viral respiratory diseases.
我们比较了 2020 年采取公共卫生措施减少冠状病毒病(COVID-19)之前和之后的流感活动指标与前 3 年相应指标。流感活动显著下降,表明针对 COVID-19 采取的措施有效减少了其他病毒性呼吸道疾病的传播。
