Despite an uptick in influenza infections over the past several days, medical professionals noted that these cases are moderate and not significantly elevated enough to be concerning. They added that the best course of action is to vaccinate kids against the flu in order to keep them safe.

What we observe is that youngsters who haven't received a flu shot are typically the ones who get sick. I advise parents to make sure their kids have received all necessary vaccinations and to administer an annual flu shot, according to Dr. Amrit Lal Soni, a pediatrician at Ahalia Hospital in Abu Dhabi.

Dr. Jamuna Raghuraman, a pediatrician at Medeor Hospital in Dubai, stated that the unexpected interaction and gathering of pupils when school reopened was likely the source of fever cases.

“However, we need to wait and evaluate how the routine adjustment has affected the kids. Trends may vary as a result of the end of Ramadan and related factors. There aren't many incidences of infection at the moment. The people arriving have body rashes, high fevers, and streptococcal throat infections. Adenovirus and influenza are both present. The causes of high-grade fever may include these.”

  Bangladesh, a traditional buyer of Chinese military equipment, has raised grievances with Beijing regarding the delivery of defective components and technical malfunctions in its imported military hardware. This issue is not unique to Bangladesh, as other nations like Myanmar have also encountered problems with Chinese fighter jets, according to an ET report. Experts in the Chinese defense industry argue that Beijing lacks the expertise to manufacture highly sophisticated military hardware and is not yet considered a top-tier producer of modern defense equipment. They claim that much of China's weapon systems are based on outdated technology copied from the West. Developing countries often opt for Chinese weapons due to their lower cost compared to similar systems from Western countries. China sells arms through state-run export organizations like the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC), NORINCO, and CVIC. Sources familiar with the matter told ET that the Bangladesh mil...
