Has Hong Kong issued a travel warning to prevent influenza?

It is reported that the flu has been raging in Hong Kong recently. According to the latest data, the number of deaths caused by influenza has reached 327, far exceeding the SARS period. However, no travel warning has been issued yet, and the flu as a whole is under control.

According to the report, despite the serious flu epidemic in Hong Kong, the National Tourism Administration has not issued a travel warning on this matter, and no country or region in the world has issued a travel warning because of the flu in Hong Kong. This season, most patients with influenza will recover within 2 to 7 days, and only a few patients need hospitalization, so the overall mortality rate is believed to be significantly lower than 2. 1%, far lower than the mortality rate during SARS 17%.

According to industry insiders, every summer in Hong Kong is the high season of influenza, so tourists who want to travel to Hong Kong need to take preventive measures, such as wearing masks, avoiding going to crowded places and washing their hands frequently.

Experts reminded that there is no travel warning at present and the flu in Hong Kong is still under control. Tourists should not create panic. If tourists who have recently returned from Hong Kong have fever or cold symptoms within 3 days, they should seek medical advice promptly.
