New Delhi:- The condition of two senior citizens who were found positive for human metapneumovirus in Jaipur is now stable. A man and a woman admitted to Jaipur's Sawai Man Singh Hospital were found positive for HMPV, in a statement given by the hospital authorities last Thursday. Both have co-morbidities, but after treatment they are recovering and are now stable.

Sharing details, Deepak Maheshwari, principal of Sawai Man Singh Medical College, said, “There are two cases – a 70-year-old and a 50-year-old, both of whom have co-morbidities. The condition of both the patients is now stable. They have been kept in separate enclosures.” Patients have cold, cough and fever-like symptoms, as well as flu-like symptoms. Since we all have been taking precautions since the time of Covid, patients should use masks and maintain distance.

What did the Health Minister of neighboring state Haryana say on the increasing threat of HMPV?
Earlier, amid growing concern over HMPV, neighboring state Haryana's Health Minister Aarti Singh Rao assured the people that the state is prepared to handle the situation and Rao told the media that there was no need to panic. We are ready. All districts have been informed to remain alert. I want to request that people should not panic. This virus can spread, but it is not dangerous. It can be treated.

If you see any symptoms of cold, get your sputum checked.
He also urged people to stay fit during the winter season. She said that since it is winter now, more people are likely to get pneumonia, so I request everyone to get their sputum checked if they have any symptoms. They should also keep their hands clean, as we did during COVID-19. On January 9, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported an increase in acute respiratory infections, including HMPV, in the Northern Hemisphere and said infection rates follow normal seasonal trends.
