Watch – Images of people queueing at paediatrics hospital in Beijing

Images of parents and children queueing up at one of Beijing’s main paediatrics hospitals. According to the World Health Organization, Northern China has reported an increase in “influenza-like illness” since mid-October compared to the same period in the previous three years.

Winters in the country’s north, where temperatures can plunge below freezing, typically lead to a higher incidence of respiratory infectious diseases. However, the WHO asked China for more data on respiratory illnesses, urging people to take steps to reduce the risk of infection.
