Figure Lengend Snippet: The daily incidence of onset of symptoms in babies and children with human parainfluenza virus type 3 infection detected by multiplex nested PCR assay during the COVID-19 pandemic in Miyagi Prefecture. The bar graph represents the daily incidence of onset of respiratory symptoms (light grey bars) and of parainfluenza virus type 3 diagnosed by multiplex nested PCR assay in a nursery school in Miyagi Prefecture between 29/5/21 and 6/13/2021. The superimposed black line graph represents the incidence of COVID-19 in Miyagi Prefecture over the same time period.
