On the one hand, the whole world is taking full force to fight a new variant of Corona, Omicron. At the same time, a news has come from Israel amid the possibility of a new wave due to Omicron. Israel has recorded the first case of ‘Florona’ disease.
It is being described as a mixed form of Coronavirus and Influenza. Giving information about this infection, it has been told in the newspaper that there is this double infection named Florona, which is being seen more in pregnant women, which is being said to be a matter of great concern.
This virus is happening to those women who were admitted to the hospital to give birth to their child. Already due to the panic of Omicron in the world, many apprehensions were born due to the arrival of this new disease. Let’s find out what is this ‘Florina’ disease –
According to experts, this ‘Florona’ is not a new disease or a new variant. Rather it is being called double infection. In this, the patient gets an infection of both the influenza virus along with the COVID-19 virus, which can make it twice as dangerous as COVID-19. Such an infection has been seen for the first time since the start of the COVID-19 epidemic in the world in March 2020.

Influenza virus infection has many serious symptoms like pneumonia, myocarditis, which can sometimes lead to death of the patient. Its infection with COVID-19 is raising the possibility of creating a panic-like environment. Israel’s Ministry of Health and the Center for Disease Control have issued a warning that this infection can spread rapidly or is spreading when for the last one week. More than 1800 patients are being treated.
The data suggests that this dual infection can cause many severe symptoms at the same time. These symptoms may also accompany myocarditis with other respiratory complications, including pneumonia. Because of these, the risk of death of the patient increases greatly due to lack of proper health care.
It is worth noting in this that being infected with two viruses increases the chances of having a very bad effect on immunity. In such a situation, it becomes necessary to emphasize on preventive measures and those who have not taken the vaccine should also be vaccinated at the earliest. Florona has symptoms of rapid spread so that all patients of dangerous and chronic diseases should keep an eye on their condition.
It is worth noting that, the woman who has been found to have symptoms of florona, did not get the COVID vaccine herself. In such a situation, the need for widespread implementation of the COVID vaccine increases. Because, with the speed with which the Omicron virus is spreading, nothing can be said when it becomes Florona after getting along with Influenza. The time is not for apprehension but for taking precautions.
