Israel announces world's first case of flurona

Doctors at the hospital believe that although hers is the first recorded case, there could be many more worldwise. Professor Arnon Vizhnitser, Director of the Department of Gynecology at Beilinson Hospital, said: “She was diagnosed with flu and coronavirus as soon as she arrived. “Both tests came back positive, even after we double-checked. It’s the same disease. They are viral and cause shortness of breath as they both attack the upper respiratory tract.”

Dr. Vizhnitser added: “We are seeing more and more pregnant women with the flu. It is definitely a great challenge dealing with a woman who comes in with a fever when giving birth.”

“This happens especially when you don’t know if it is coronavirus or flu, so you treat them in the same way. Most of the disease is respiratory.”

The news that Israel have announced the world’s first case of flurone, follows their health minister’s offer on New year’s Eve of a fourth dose of vaccine to older people.
