Currently, acute respiratory infectious diseases in China are generally on the rise. The positive test rate in 17 provinces with high influenza prevalence is over 45%. On the evening of December 2, the Guangzhou Center for Disease Prevention and Control issued a reminder that according to model predictions and expert judgment, the current influenza epidemic in the southern region will continue to rise. It is expected to peak from mid-late December to early January 2026, rebound slightly after a short-term decline, then gradually decline. The public should take precautions in advance. The Guangzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention warned that regions such as South China, Southwest China, Northeast China, and Northwest China have reached medium to high levels of influenza prevalence, and the overall intensity of influenza activity in southern provinces is higher than in the north. Getting vaccinated against influenza every year is a core measure to prevent influenza, which can significantly reduce the risk of infection and severe illness. After influenza-like symptoms occur, the best window for antiviral treatment is within 48 hours. In particular, high-risk groups should follow the doctor's instructions to use drugs such as oseltamivir as soon as possible, which can shorten the course of the disease and reduce the risk of severe illness.
