Measures against SARS-CoV-2 in Sweden were more efficient against rhinovirus infections in older adults than in children: a molecular epidemiology perspective
This study shows that the moderate Swedish interventions against SARS-CoV-2 were more effective against the spread of ARI-causing virus among adults over 56 years than among young children. These results suggest the need for new strategies for preventing the spread of ARI pathogens like RV and EV, which cause disease in all age groups and can lead to large outbreaks.
