Israel confirms Florona, covid and influenza combined for the first time

Israel has reportedly recorded the first case of Florona, which is believed to be a double infection of Covid-19 and influenza.

 

The news of Florona comes at a time when the world is battling a new surge of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic driven by the new variant Omicron, which was first detected in South Africa in November 2021.

 

Israeli doctors said Florona is being studied as Isreal has seen a surge in influenza cases in the last few weeks. Experts have also flagged Delmicron, a combination of Delta and Omicron variants, which might have caused the surge in the US and Europe.

 

Delmicron, too, is not a new variant but the attack of Delta and Omicron strains together.
