UW Virology Newsletter

May, 2025

Over the past few weeks, we have observed a significant decline in the frequency of respiratory viruses being isolated. This trend suggests that we may be approaching the end of the 2024/2025 respiratory virus season. As we say goodbye to the respiratory virus season and welcome the warmer weather, it’s an opportune time to engage in outdoor activities and enjoy the rejuvenating effects of sunshine and fresh air.
