Background
COVID-19 related public health and social measures (PHSMs) worldwide
have influenced respiratory virus epidemiology. In Hong Kong, paediatric
hospitalisations associated with non-COVID-19 respiratory viruses
declined in 2020. As PHSMs eased, rhinoviruses/enteroviruses became the
primary detected respiratory viruses. This study examines the genetic
diversity in resurgent human rhinovirus (HRV) cases.
