🤧Flu surge begins in Europe — strain K raises concern
Scientists focus on strain K, linked to higher transmissibility. Dr Petros Karagiannis says the mutation allows easier spread; lack of community immunity may raise case numbers this winter. Influenza appeared earlier, increasing cases and hospitalisations in several countries; season could extend into March–April.

ECDC data on antimicrobial resistance remain concerning: Cyprus leads in bloodstream infections. Multidrug‑resistant Klebsiella rose 659% from 2019–2024; EU average 3.51 per 100,000 vs Cyprus 19.81 per 100,000. MRSA rates also high. Cyprus ranks sixth in EU antibiotic consumption but overall EU use is 2% above five‑year levels and the 2030 reduction target is unmet.

💸Pork Price Fluctuations Explained
Leivadiotis (President, Cyprus Butchers): Figures stand. Market works like a bazaar; large firms with huge turnover influence retail. No anomaly — free market. Butchers avoid rapid price changes; pre‑Covid tourism pushed wholesale from €1 to €1.70 while retailers averaged €1.30.

Iordanou (Head, Competition, Consumer Protection): Market driven by supply and demand. October observatory records rise in producer pork prices due to stronger meat demand and lack of substitutes. Pork supply increased; beef supply limited in Europe, lowering beef prices. Trend seasonal and market‑based.
