"The number of flu and other viral infections has increased this year compared to previous years"

APA reports that Tayyar Eyvazov, an expert of the Ministry of Health, said this in his speech on COVID-19.

He said that this is due to close contacts:

"Last year, due to quarantine closures, the number of contacts decreased, so the number of cases of other respiratory viral infections was low.

As the quarantine rules have been relaxed this year, the number of such cases has increased compared to last year.
