Uzbekistan prepares for a viral winter


As the winter season approaches, Uzbekistan is gearing up to address the twin challenges posed by COVID-19 and influenza.

Health experts predict an increase in the incidence of COVID-19 and influenza during the winter season, as cold weather and close indoor gatherings create favourable conditions for the spread of respiratory viruses. The co-circulation of these diseases poses a significant challenge for healthcare systems, necessitating proactive measures to mitigate their impact.
