Cyprus has a bad flu sickness. Sadly, 13 people died from it. Health helpers watch the sickness. They hope fewer people get sick soon.
Most who died were old. They were also sick before. But a 54-year-old man died too. This shows younger people can get very sick. The Health Ministry waits for news. They must say flu caused all deaths.
Last week was bad. Six people died then. This is more than the week before. More people died this year than last year. Hospitals are very busy. They do many tests.
Helpers are happy. They think the sickness is getting less. Many people got the flu shot. Over 145,000 people had it. The shot helps stop the sickness.
Other sicknesses are also here. Not many people took the COVID-19 shot. Some people are afraid of it. It is good to be careful. Follow health rules.
Hospitals will not have new hard rules. The sickness might be going down. But more sickness could come later. The deaths show flu is still bad. Get your shot to be safe.
