HMPV outbreak in China poses no major threat, say Indian officials

Quick Summary:

While the government did not immediately respond to bird flu concerns, the health ministry and the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) have previously issued guidelines to counter the disease.

China has reported an outbreak of respiratory illnesses, particularly HMPV, among children and the elderly over the past couple of weeks.

This comes five years after the Covid-19 outbreak stunned the country, with various reports suggesting hospitals and crematoriums struggling to cope with the rise in HMPV cases.
