Background: Following the low incidence rates of non-SARS-CoV-2 respiratory viruses registered during the strict lockdown enforced in the pandemic, a resurgence of several endemic viruses in Catalonia (Spain) was noted during the early summer of 2021.

Objectives: In this study, we investigated whether the circulation of non-SARS-CoV-2 respiratory viruses in Catalonia, assessed by Microbiological Reporting System of Catalonia (MRSC) and the Epidemiological Surveillance Network of Catalonia, was affected by the strict lockdown measures, as well as, the implication of the Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) de-escalation process in the late season outbreaks registered during the 2020-2021 season.

Study Design: A retrospective comparison of epidemic patterns in the respiratory viruses' incidence, using regional public health surveillance data from MRSC, was performed between weeks 26/2016 to week 27/2021.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Aurora Sabria-Sunye"

  • - Aurora Sabria-Sunye's research focuses on the epidemiological distribution of respiratory pathogens following the COVID-19 lockdown in Catalonia, analyzing how restrictive measures influenced the incidence of non-SARS-CoV-2 viruses.
  • - The study highlights a resurgence of endemic respiratory viruses during the summer of 2021, raising questions about the long-term effects of public health interventions on viral circulation.
  • - Utilizing regional surveillance data from the Microbiological Reporting System and the Epidemiological Surveillance Network, the research provides insights into the dynamics of respiratory outbreaks from September 2016 to June 2021, contributing to the understanding of seasonal respiratory viruses post-COVID-19 restrictions.
