In this context, former Chairman of the Parliamentary Health Committee, Assem Araji, confirms that “seasonal influenza is a common virus that multiplies during the winter season, and its infection cases increase as a result of weather changes, especially since people in this season stay indoors for a longer period due to the cold, which is spreading throughout the country.” Crowded places such as schools and workplaces, and this contributes to the rapid transmission of infection from one person to another due to communication and contact between them.”
He explained in an interview with Lebanon Debate, “The spread of influenza is expected at this time due to the low and low temperatures, but infection with this virus more than once is due to several reasons, including that the person who is infected for the first time does not take the necessary treatment and does not adhere to the procedures.” While the injured person must take adequate treatment and remain at home until he fully recovers.”
He points out that “it is possible for a person infected with influenza to be infected again with another virus, and it is known that the most widespread at the present time is H1N1, so it is possible to be infected again with H3N1, and the main reason for this is not taking the influenza vaccine, in addition to wearing masks for a while.” “For a long time due to Corona, which contributed to a decrease in immunity against cold viruses.”
Araji warns that “infected people who suffer from chronic and incurable diseases must adhere to the necessary measures for prevention, because they are more at risk of developing severe symptoms and must receive adequate medical care.”
