Known germs causing illness: China to WHO
The Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention and Beijing Children's Hospital told the WHO on Thursday that there's been increases in outpatient visits and hospitalisations due to the spread of mycoplasma pneumoniae, respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus and influenza. The uptick has come earlier than what's been experienced historically, but isn't unexpected given the lifting of Covid curbs, the WHO said in a statement following a teleconference between health officials.
