Germany's Flu Cases Decline After Season's Peak

Grippewave subsides as respiratory infections remain high, marking the most severe flu season since 2001.

Flu cases in Berlin dropped to 1,034 in the 10th week of 2025, the lowest level since early January, according to health authorities.
Nationwide, influenza cases also showed a significant decline, with 25,989 cases reported last week compared to 41,755 the week prior.
Despite the decline, this flu season has been the most severe since 2001, with over 13,677 cases reported in Berlin alone since the season began.
Other respiratory infections, including RSV, have also decreased slightly but remain at high levels, particularly affecting children under two and adults over 75.
New wastewater monitoring in Berlin confirms a decline in influenza virus levels, supporting epidemiological data of reduced flu activity.
