Union Health Secretary emphasised that there is no cause of concern for the public from HMPV
which has been present globally since 2001. She advised states to strengthen and review the
ILI/SARI surveillance. She reiterated that an increase in respiratory illnesses is usually seen
during the winter months. She also stated that the country is well prepared for any potential surge
in respiratory illness cases.
Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is one of the many respiratory viruses that can cause infections
in people of all ages particularly during the winter and early spring months. The virus infection is
usually a mild and self-limiting condition and most cases recover on their own. It was informed
that adequate diagnostic facilities are available with the ICMR-VRDL laboratories.
The states were advised to enhance IEC and awareness among the population regarding prevention
of transmission of the virus with simple measures such as washing hands often with soap and
water; avoid touching their eyes, nose, or mouth with unwashed hands; avoid close contact with
people who are exhibiting symptoms of the disease; cover mouth and nose when coughing and
sneezing etc.
