Global influenza and COVID-19 activity stayed low in late October 2025. COVID-19 was more common in northern regions, while influenza spread mainly in tropical areas. Influenza A remained dominant worldwide, with different strains leading in different regions. COVID-19 cases rose slightly but remained under control, with only a few local spikes. The WHO urged countries to keep up joint flu and COVID-19 surveillance for early detection.
