5月24日，在2025年廣州科技活動周開幕式上，中國工程院院士、廣州國家實驗室主任鐘南山通過云端連線，為市民們透露了近期流感、新冠疫情等公共衛生領域的最新進展。

Zhong Nanshan, a noted expert on respiratory illness, urged relevant departments to pay great attention to the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 and influenza, and the infected individuals to take relevant medicine within the first 48 hours to avoid developing severe symptoms. He made the remarks at the opening ceremony of the 2025 Guangzhou Science and Technology Week on Saturday.

在講話中，鐘南山提到了在今年2月份因流感離世的女明星大S徐熙媛，并表示很遺憾。他強調，近期流感發病率已經在下降，要高度重視流感的及時治療，特別對于老年人來說，要保證在48小時內及時接受治療。“藥物的選擇也很重要，國內近期有兩款新藥上市，目前中國在研發流感藥物及疫苗方面并不比國外差。”

Zhong expressed regret that Taiwan actress Barbie Hsu died of influenza in February. The incidence rate of influenza has recently been declining, he said, adding that patients should attach great importance to the timely treatment of influenza, especially the elderly, he said.

據此，鐘南山表示，目前新冠疫情仍處于高峰期，預測到6月份以后會下降。

Zhong said the current COVID-19 outbreak is still at its peak period across the country and is predicted to decline after June.

“要特別注意，對有基礎病的老年人要進行及時檢測，確定到底是新冠還是流感。我們已經有很好的藥物，可以進行針對性的治療。”

據上海市疾病預防控制中心提醒，對大多數健康人來說，這輪新冠的癥狀確實相對輕，比如咽痛、發燒一兩天、身體疲乏，部分人還會咳嗽持續一周甚至更久。但即便是“像感冒”，但也不能掉以輕心：一方面它可能影響你更長時間的體力和恢復；另一方面也可能在你不經意中傳染給家中體弱的老人、孩子或慢性病人，帶來嚴重后果。
