Abstract

Objective: Several public health measures were introduced to reduce viral transmission and disease spread at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. These measures had the potential to impact the transmission of other respiratory viruses. In September 2021, schools started face to face in and an increase in viral respiratory infections was observed. This study aims to determine the distribution and clinical features of viral agents in this period when complete face-to-face education was started for the first time in Turkey.
