00:00The World Health Organization issued a warning about the spread of a H3N2 flu virus subtype called K.
00:07The director of the Global Influenza Program Wen-Kin Shan reported that the K virus was first discovered in August in Australia and New Zealand.
00:18The subtype has already been detected in at least 30 countries worldwide except in Latin America.
00:23In this scenario, Shan also worried about the circulation of other respiratory viruses such as respiratory syncytical virus, coronaviruses, and rhinoviruses.
00:35According to the WHO, the influence of influenza is still within expected levels, but since October some countries have seen an early start to the flu season.
