Germany braces for early flu and cold season
Original: Grippe- und Erkältungssaison 2026/27: Was Deutschland erwartet Die Grippewelle könnte dieses Jahr früher kommen als verm
Health experts in Germany warn the flu wave in the 2026/27 season could arrive earlier than expected. Wastewater monitoring shows rising levels of SARS-CoV-2, and many people in risk groups lack adequate vaccination protection. Specialists are urging people to get immunised and take precautions now, ahead of what could be a heavier respiratory illness season than in previous years.
Why now: Experts are warning of an earlier-than-expected flu wave and rising coronavirus levels in wastewater as the cold season approaches.
