A 12-year-old boy diagnosed with Influenza B died on Friday at the Makarios hospital.

The child had been hospitalised and was on Thursday admitted to the Intensive Care Unit at the Makarios hospital on the advice of his paediatrician as he developed complications.

After he was taken to the ICU, it was decided to transfer him to a hospital in Israel, along with a medical team.

However, there was no time to do so, as he died on Friday morning.
