The combined flu-coronavirus ailment has been registered in Serbia for the first time, Public Health Institute CEO Verica Jovanovic told the Serbian state TV (RTS). She said that the presence of both the SARS-CoV-2 and flu virus was detected in one person a week earlier. “The symptoms are different from COVID and flu,” she said adding that the patient had a high fever, general weakness and all the symptoms of a respiratory infection. According to Jovanovic, the symptoms were over quickly just like the omicron strain.

Jovanovic said that the Torlak virology institute had detected the presence of both viruses in some samples it tested, adding that flurona would appear again.
