Taiwan CDC: Both influenza and the COVID-19 epidemic are
currently in their peak season, with influenza cases continuing
to rise
Sep 15 2026
SUMMARY:
A little over 2 weeks ago (Aug 28th), Japan announced the
earliest start to their influenza season since the 2009 H1N1
pandemic (see Japan MHLW Reports Unusually Early Start to the
Fall Flu Season), while last week Taiwan reported `. . .
emergency room visits reached 11.2%, exceeding the epidemic
threshold (11.0%), indicating the start of the epidemic period.'
Four days ago (Sept 11th) South Korea announced the early
start to their flu season, and recent reports from China suggest
flu is gaining ground in their southern provinces.
While all of this is unusually early flu activity, Hong Kong -
which often sees a biphasic (summer & winter) flu season -
continues to report substantial flu (see Update on cluster of
Influenza A cases in TWGHs Wong Tai Sin Hospital) as well.
Today Taiwan's CDC has updated their flu report, and is urging
the public to take precautions and to be aware of early warning
signs of severe illness.
