Last summer, health officials across the country worried how COVID-19 and flu season would interact, and the likelihood of more deaths due to co-infections of both viruses.
However, largely due to the preventative measures taken to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus, flu cases fell dramatically last season.
In Laredo, there were no reported co-infections with COVID-19 and the flu, and the number of confirmed flu cases in the 2020-2021 season fell by over 99% from the year prior.
During the 2019-2020 flu season, 6,389 flu cases were reported in Laredo. In the 2020-2021 season, there were only 20 reported cases of the flu.
