Social restrictions interrupted the circulation of common respiratory viruses among children in spring 2020. In the winter season 2020-2021, only rhinovirus spread in Finland. As the restrictions were ended in September 2021, we saw record high epidemic peak of parainfluenza. Typically, the epidemic peak is in springtime, but now, it started in the early fall 2021. The monthly incidence among children aged 0-4 years (120 per 100,000 children) was six times higher than the second highest reported monthly incidence (21 per 100,000 children) during the last 10 years. Our finding highlights the importance of active surveillance of viral respiratory pathogens during the pandemic.
2020 年春季，社会限制措施中断了儿童常见呼吸道病毒的传播。在 2020-2021 年冬季，芬兰仅出现鼻病毒传播。随着 2021 年 9 月限制措施的结束，我们看到了副流感的创纪录高发疫情。通常，疫情高峰期在春季，但现在，它从 2021 年初秋开始。0-4 岁儿童的每月发病率（每 10 万名儿童中有 120 例）是过去 10 年中第二高报告的每月发病率（每 10 万名儿童中有 21 例）的六倍。我们的发现强调了在大流行期间对病毒呼吸道病原体进行主动监测的重要性。
