Flurona Is Still Under Study
While we don’t know if Flurona is a cause for concern, the virus is currently under study to determine the severity thereof. At this time, the only information at our disposal is that both viruses affect the respiratory tract.
This first case of Flurona has been detected in a pregnant woman who is due to give birth to her child. Since being admitted to the hospital her symptoms show to be mild. Having taken the test twice, each result still came back positive.
