COVID-19 pandemic public health and physical distancing measures may have extinguished the 2020/21 European seasonal influenza epidemic with just a few sporadic detections of all viral subtypes. This might possibly continue during the remainder of the influenza season.engVoRhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/2020/21 seasonEuropeEpidemiologyInfluenzaSurveillanceCOVID-19Sentinel SurveillanceEuropeHumansInfluenza, HumanPandemicsPhysical DistancingSeasonsWorld Health OrganizationAtribución 4.0 Internacional337392562611210022110.2807/1560-7917.ES.2021.26.11.21002211560-7917Euro Surveillance : bulletin Europeen sur les maladies transmissibles = European communicable disease bulletinopen access
