Flu Wave Peaks and Future Outlook

Experts indicate that Germany's flu wave has likely reached its peak, with signs of stagnation in respiratory infections. However, wastewater monitoring reveals a concerning rise in viral loads, particularly for influenza B in Nuremberg.

The Robert Koch Institute supports these findings, noting a decrease in influenza cases compared to previous weeks. Despite this, high sick leave rates persist in Bavaria, as reported by Barmer's state manager, Alfred Kindshofer.

Meanwhile, in Saxony, the flu season continues to escalate, particularly among schoolchildren. As the situation evolves, health officials remain vigilant, highlighting the importance of monitoring trends to ensure public safety.
