The Danish Serum Institute runs a “sentinel” testing programme for the common flu, and they note in their report about covid-19 last week (available in Danish) that the common flu has mostly been eliminated since the social distancing and lockdown measure were implemented. They interpret this a leading indicator for the reduction in covid-19 since it has a similar transmission mechanism.
