Currently, the increase in seasonal acute respiratory viruses, the severe course of influenza and other infections, people seeking medical attention late, and weakened immunity can be causes of pneumonia.
Modern.az reports that this information was provided by the Republican Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology of the Ministry of Health.
It was stated that the concentration of people in enclosed and poorly ventilated spaces relatively increases the spread rate of airborne infections among the population: “Adherence to sanitary rules and the protection of collective immunity are of great importance to limit the spread area of the infection. In particular, it is recommended that individuals in the risk group stay away from crowded places.”
“The isolation of individuals with the first clinical symptoms of the disease plays the most effective role in preventing chain infections. The epidemiological situation regarding infectious diseases in the Republic is under control,” the center stated.
