No need to panic over HMPV: TN Health minister after 2 cases found - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

The Tamil Nadu government on Tuesday said there was no need to panic over the Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV), as it was not a new and potent one, and said the two individuals found infected with HMPV in the state were "doing well".

One of them, who hails from Salem was a 69 year-old person suffering from cancer, high blood pressure and diabetes while the other, from here, was aged about 45 years, Health and Family Welfare Minister Ma Subramanian told a press conference here.

Those with cold, cough and fever may get themselves tested for HMPV but there was no exclusive treatment for it, the minister said.
