Why are more UAE residents falling sick with non-flu viral fevers this summer?

Doctors across the UAE are witnessing a surge in non-influenza viral infections since late May, marked by prolonged fever, dry cough, fatigue, and even gastrointestinal symptoms—yet many patients test negative for flu or COVID-19. Experts link this spike to seasonal viral patterns in warmer climates and increased travel during Eid, with clusters emerging in schools, offices, and indoor camps. Vulnerable groups include children, socially active adults, the elderly, and those with low immunity. As post-viral fatigue and lingering symptoms like joint pain become more common, how concerned are you about the rise in unexplained viral illnesses this summer?
