      About 29 thousand cases of acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) were registered in the Nizhny Novgorod region for the period from December 22 to 28, 2025. This was reported by the regional office of Rospotrebnadzor.

      According to monitoring data, about 27 thousand people were examined during the week. The main cause of the increase in morbidity was influenza, which accounts for 86.3% of all detected viruses. The influenza A(H3N2) strain predominates among them.
