Also place, among children all ages influenza A and B viruses, syncytial virus, adenovirus, parainfluenza human metapneumovirus, rhinovirus/enterovirus. Regression models adjusted age seasonality indicated that febrile illness/respiratory symptoms any cause reduced by 76% 85%–99% these viruses. Hong Kong clearly viruses; implementing reopening schools only a small increase rhinovirus/enterovirus infections.
