It is expected that the end of January - beginning of February will be the peak of the flu wave.

This is what the director of the National Center for Infectious and Parasitic Diseases Prof. Iva Hristova said in "The Day Begins".

According to her, the circulation of the flu will continue to grow, but at the moment there are still quite a few infected people.

In our country, the submitted samples that prove the flu virus are increasing, an increasing percentage are positive, we have long passed the 10 percent that say that the flu is already here, she explained.

Prof. Hristova recommended that we protect ourselves in order to protect others.

Associate Professor Angel Kunchev announced that the flu wave has started

"When a person gets sick and then recovers, he has already destroyed the virus in himself. If he does not manage to transmit the virus while he is sick to other people, he will stop the circulation, which means: at the first symptoms, when we do not feel ok let's isolate ourselves".

According to her, the body's immune system is of primary importance for influenza viruses, but since we have been in touch with SARS-CoV-2 for three years now, a large number of people have spent it without symptoms.

"This reach creates a readiness to quickly deal with the flu. On the other hand, we had two zero years for the flu, and the lack of this preparedness of our immune system leads to the fact that it is more severe at the moment," pointed out Prof. Hristova.

According to her, the expectations are that influenza A (H1N1) will prevail and increase.
