Additionally, among 6662 patients with influenza-like illness from 1 December 2017 to 31 March 2020, the overall number of patients positive for influenza and other respiratory viruses during the COVID-19 period decreased significantly when compared with that in the same period of the last two years, reflecting that public health interventions can effectively control the spread of common respiratory viruses. The nasopharyngeal swab samples for this study were collected from 1271 hospitalized patients with influenza-like illness from 1 December 2018 to 31 March 2020 in Ruijin Hospital (Shanghai, China). ./cache/cord-295603-mk9oartb.txt ./txt/cord-295603-mk9oartb.txt
