Currently, 15 special virology laboratories operate under the committee's jurisdiction, through which the diagnosis of influenza and similar diseases is carried out.
When analyzing by age categories, the highest incidence is found among children aged 0-1 years. Also, the general epidemiological situation regarding influenza and ARI in the republic is currently stable and is under the full control of the Sanitary and Epidemiological Committee.
