Parents speak of disrupted lives as all at home catch flu; doctors say post-Covid-19 ‘revenge travel’ one reason for case spike

More than 50 students from Nanyang Primary School fell ill with acute respiratory symptoms and two were hospitalised, MOH reported on Jan 31

The flu season is on and three parents who were interviewed said that their young school-going children were recently down with flu

Two of the parents said that most, if not all, family members were later infected

Doctors said that the spread of viruses is common during the end and start of the year due to cooler weather, increased travel and children going back to school
