Hu Qiangqiang , spokesperson of the National Health Commission and deputy director of the Publicity Department : Good afternoon, friends from the media! Welcome to the press conference of the National Health Commission. Recently, the national sentinel surveillance data of acute respiratory infectious diseases released by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention showed that influenza was in the seasonal epidemic period in the first week of 2025, and the increase in the positive rate of influenza virus has slowed down.

Among them, the positive rate of influenza virus in outpatient influenza-like cases nationwide increased by 3.8% compared with last week, which is lower than the same period last year. It is expected that the influenza activity level will gradually decline in the middle and late this month, and the influenza activity level in different provinces will vary. 

In order to better meet the medical needs of the people, our commission guides all localities to coordinate medical resources, expand the supply of medical services, optimize service processes, and work with relevant departments to ensure drug reserves and supply.
