ISRAEL: Israel recently reported the first case of Florona, which is believed to be a dual infection of COVID-19 and Influenza.
The first case was documented in a pregnant woman admitted to giving birth in a local hospital, reports stated.
Meanwhile, an Israeli newspaper also reported that the young woman was unvaccinated.
However, Florona is believed to be the occurrence of flu and corona at the same time and not a new variant. Israeli doctors said Florona is being studied as Isreal has seen a surge in influenza cases in the last few weeks.
Dr Nahla Abdel Wahab, a doctor at Cairo University Hospital, told Israeli media that Florona might indicate a significant breakdown of the immunity system as two viruses are entering the human body at the same time.
