The number of influenza infections in Austria remains consistently high. This suggests an "extended plateau phase," explained the MedUni Vienna online on Monday.

Flu Wave Remains at High Level

A week ago, the Center for Virology at MedUni/AKH Vienna, as the national reference laboratory for influenza, announced that the peak of the flu wave had been surpassed. However, the decline in infections has since slowed down.

In the rest of Europe, the "real flu" has reached a plateau phase in most regions. In some countries like Italy, France, and Spain, activity is also declining. Overall, however, there is still high influenza virus activity in Europe.
