‘Twindemic is a concurrent outbreak of COVID-19 and seasonal influenza which could come as early as this fall amid an unusual spike in the number of flu patients since July.’
In terms of the pandemic, the country reported 71,471 new Covid infections in the last 24 hours, including 352 cases from overseas, bringing the total caseload to 24,264,470, according to the latest KDCA figures. With an addition of 72 new fatalities also in the same period, the death toll increased to 27,665.

Test your Knowledge on Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Coronavirus is a large positive-strand RNA virus that is surrounded by a protein envelope. The virus obtains its name from the S protein spikes on its surface, which resemble a crown. The overall pattern of increasing coronavirus cases is shown to spike up with the “second wave” of COVID-19.
With spiking effects of the second wave of coronavirus, the best way to keep it at bay is to follow COVID-appropriate safety practices like wearing a mask, regularly cleaning your hands, and coughing into a bent elbow or tissue along with physical distancing (6 feet about 2 arm's length), that may help evade the severity of COVID-19 infection.
