A second wave of the novel coronavirus in the US could be even more destructive because it will likely collide with the beginning of flu season, one of the country's top health officials, according to AFP.
Robert Redfield, director of the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, called on Americans to use the coming months to prepare — and get their flu shots.
“There's a possibility that the assault of the virus on our nation next winter will actually be even more difficult than the one we just went through,” he was quoted as saying in an interview with the Washington Post.
“We're going to have the flu epidemic and the coronavirus epidemic at the same time,” he said.
