The National Health and Planning Commission released news yesterday that the risk assessment of China's CDC believes that at present, China has entered the H7N9 epidemic season, and the overall characteristics of the epidemic have not changed. In the most recent period, the outbreak of H7N9 in the Mainland of China is still spreading, and it is not ruled out that cases continue to occur in some parts of the south.

It is understood that with the gradual decline in temperature, the H7N9 influenza virus is gradually active and the risk of occurrence of cases has increased.

Human infection with H7N9 avian influenza is a respiratory infection caused by the H7N9 influenza virus. All people are susceptible to the H7N9 influenza virus, especially in the elderly, pregnant women, people with chronic underlying diseases, and immunocompromised people. The H7N9 influenza virus can be transmitted to the human body through the respiratory tract and digestive tract. Direct exposure to H7N9-infected poultry and their feces, secretions, blood and other pollutants, or direct contact with the H7N9 virus is the main route of transmission.
