Although after the country’s epidemic prevention and control policy took a big turn, experts from all walks of life jumped out to explain that Omicron infection only attacks the upper respiratory tract and does not involve the lungs. However, under the current wave of infections, it may be related to the high incidence of respiratory diseases in winter. Not to mention the elderly, even the young and middle-aged people have cases of pneumonia after coughing after “Yangkang”.

Whether it is white lung or pneumonia, it is naturally impossible to prevent it, especially in winter when the weather is dry and cold, and the superposition of influenza and new crowns has increased the risk of pneumonia. For local governments, what can be done is to strengthen public medical preparations and prepare various medications for the respiratory system in a timely manner.
