Abstract

Abstract In March 2020, WHO declared SARS-CoV-2 a global pandemic and lockdowns were enforced in most of the United States. Self-protective measures and travel restrictions were implemented, and schools/universities initiated online learning. Consequently, the global incidence and hospitalization rates of seasonal respiratory infections decreased significantly up to early 2021. Despite the decrease in hospitalization rates due to respiratory illnesses other than Covid-19, hospitals and healthcare providers faced huge stressors regarding workload dueto the pandemic. Furthermore, higher vaccination rates across the United States decreased non pharmaceutical interventions (NPI) implementation increasing the risk of major seasonal viral outbreaks. This editorial discusses the increased Rhinovirus/Enterovirus infections in the United States, challenges faced by healthcare providers and provides recommendations to address the issue.
