Decreased Influenza Incidence under COVID-19 Control Measures, Singapore.
Emerg Infect Dis. 2020 Aug; 26(8):1933-1935.EI

Abstract

We compared indicators of influenza activity in 2020 before and after public health measures were taken to reduce coronavirus disease (COVID-19) with the corresponding indicators from 3 preceding years. Influenza activity declined substantially, suggesting that the measures taken for COVID-19 were effective in reducing spread of other viral respiratory diseases.
