Result: A downturn trend of severe influenza, invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae disease and the death toll from pneumonia per week in 2019/2020 season and significant trend difference in comparison to previous seasons were noted, especially after initiation of several disease prevention measures to fight potential COVID-19 outbreak in Taiwan. Conclusions: Fighting COVID-19 achieved collateral benefits on significant reductions of severe influenza burden, invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae disease activity, and the death toll from pneumonia reported to CDC in Taiwan. In January 2020, the Taiwan government assembled a taskforce to contain the outbreak We proposed that collateral benefits on changing influenza activity and other respiratory infection activity (invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae disease) and outcome (death toll from pneumonia) would have happened in Taiwan.	./cache/cord-333225-654rd38j.txt	./txt/cord-333225-654rd38j.txt
