How can you tell if you have COVID-19 or the flu?
Recently, monitoring data from the World Health Organization showed that the intensity of the new coronavirus activity in Europe, the Americas and other regions has increased. As the novel coronavirus continues to mutate, the current novel coronavirus variants KP.2 and KP.1.1 have become dominant in these places.
The latest report on the detection of the novel coronavirus recently released by the China Disease Control and Prevention also shows that the detection rate of the novel coronavirus in China has increased slightly since June, with JN.1 mutant strain as the main detection type. In addition, the new XDV variants appear to be able to spread in high-temperature environments, which means that traditional summer temperature increases may not be effective in suppressing the spread of the virus. Compared with JN.1 variant, the transmissibility, pathogenicity and immune escape ability of XDV variant did not change significantly.
In the current round of COVID-19, fever is not prominent, and some infected people cannot be directly identified as infected by the symptoms, and even these infected people do not think they are infected with the novel coronavirus. Most people will treat COVID-19 as the flu and think it will not have much impact, but a small number of elderly people may suffer from the after-effects of COVID-19 due to such wrong judgment, so it is necessary to distinguish COVID-19 from influenza.
If the symptoms of COVID-19 or influenza are similar, the best way to determine which disease a patient has is to take a differential test for COVID-19 and influenza. There are obvious differences between novel coronavirus and Influenza virus in virus structure, mode of transmission and treatment.
