The actual WHO Influenza update [1] rightfully adds a disclaimer: > The current influenza surveillance data should be interpreted with caution as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic have influenced to varying extents health seeking behaviours, staffing/routines in sentinel sites, as well as testing priorities and capacities in Member States. The various hygiene and physical distancing measures implemented by Member States to reduce SARS-CoV-2 virus transmission have likely played a role in reducing influenza virus transmission. But also: > Globally, despite continued or even increased testing for influenza in some countries influenza activity remained at lower levels than expected for this time of the year.
