PHOENIX - After a historically mild flu season, common colds and other viruses are now popping up in parts of the country, including in Arizona. Doctors are attributing this to an ease in the health protocols people followed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
While numbers for these viruses are still low, there's an uptick in cases compared to numbers that are usual for the summertime.
"Typically you don’t see common cold this time of year or RSV this time of year," said Dr. Frank LoVecchio from Valleywise Health.
