INTRODUCTION
Impacts of COVID-19 mitigation measures on seasonal respiratory viruses is unknown in sub-tropical climates.
METHODS
We compared weekly testing and test-positivity of respiratory infections in the 2019-2020 respiratory season to the 2012-2018 seasons in southern Puerto Rico using Wilcoxon signed rank tests.
RESULTS
Compared to the average for the 2012-2018 seasons, test-positivity was significantly lower for Influenza A (p<0.001) & B (p<0.001), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) (p<0.01), respiratory adenovirus (AdV) (p<0.05), and other respiratory viruses (p<0.001) following March 2020 COVID-19 stay at home orders.
CONCLUSIONS
Mitigation measures and behavioral social distancing choices may have reduced respiratory viral spread in southern Puerto Rico.
简介
在亚热带气候下，减轻 COVID-19 措施对季节性呼吸道病毒的影响尚不清楚。
方法
我们使用 Wilcoxon 符号秩检验比较了 2019-2020 年呼吸道季节和 2012-2018 年波多黎各南部呼吸道感染的每周检测和检测阳性率。
结果
与 2012-2018 年的平均水平相比，2020 年 3 月 COVID-19 居家令发布后，流感 A（p<0.001）和 B（p<0.001）、呼吸道合胞病毒（RSV）（p<0.01）、呼吸道腺病毒（AdV）（p<0.05）和其他呼吸道病毒（p<0.001）的检测阳性率显著降低。
结论
减轻措施和行为社会隔离选择可能减少了波多黎各南部的呼吸道病毒传播。
