China HMPV Outbreak: India, Malaysia, Hong Kong Report Cases | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) cases have been confirmed in India, Malaysia, and Hong Kong, following a surge in infections in China. HMPV is a respiratory virus causing flu-like symptoms, with children, the elderly, and those with compromised immunity being most vulnerable. India has reported three confirmed cases of HMPV, all involving children with no travel history. Authorities have emphasized there’s no need to panic as Indian states enhance surveillance. China attributes the surge to the winter season, but vigilance remains crucial as cases rise across Asia. What is HMPV, and should you be concerned? Palki Sharma tells you more.
