New Delhi, January 8, 2025: In response to the recent rise in Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) cases, health authorities have stepped up measures to monitor and control the virus’s spread. Medical teams are being deployed at key locations, including railway stations and airports, to conduct screenings and provide immediate medical assistance. This proactive approach is designed to detect potential cases early and curb further transmission.
HMPV is a respiratory virus that can cause symptoms similar to COVID-19, including cough, fever, and shortness of breath. While not a new virus, there has been a notable increase in cases, especially in countries like China and India. Health officials stress the importance of maintaining proper hygiene practices and staying informed about the virus to help reduce its spread.
