Around 12,000 flu cases in Croatia, strongest since 2020.

In Croatia, about 12,000 cases of flu have been recorded, making this season the strongest in the past five years. Half of the cases were diagnosed last week. The flu was almost absent in 2020 due to epidemiological measures. This year, the number of cases is the highest since then, but it’s not unusual. The real number of cases is likely higher, as many people do not visit a doctor. The incidence is highest among preschool children and lowest among those over 65 years old. The flu can cause complications and mortality in at-risk groups.
