👉 Estonia, like many countries, faces the risk of infectious diseases due to its geographical location and global connectivity. The country has experienced outbreaks of various infections, including tuberculosis (TB), influenza, and more recently, COVID-19. TB remains a significant public health concern, with both drug-resistant strains posing challenges. Influenza is also common, especially during flu season, and can lead to severe complications in vulnerable populations. The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the global nature of travel and trade mean that infections can easily spread across borders, making surveillance and international cooperation crucial for effective management and control. Public health measures such as vaccination, hygiene practices, and timely medical intervention are essential in preventing and mitigating the impact of infectious diseases in Estonia.
