After 5 years of Covid-19, a new virus infection is once again spreading in China. Its symptoms are also like Corona virus. The name of this new virus is Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV), which is an RNA virus.
When infected with the virus, patients show symptoms like cold and Covid-19. Its biggest impact is being seen on small children. Among these, children below 2 years of age are most affected.
According to China’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), its symptoms include cough, fever, nasal congestion and wheezing in the throat. Apart from HMPV, cases of Influenza A, Mycoplasma Pneumonia and Covid-19 are also being reported. Due to this the number of patients has continuously increased.
According to Reuters, the highest number of cases of respiratory problems have been reported between 16 and 25 December.
Claim- China declared emergency In a post made on social media, posting photos of patients, it has been claimed that China has declared emergency in many places after the spread of the virus. According to the claim, crowding in hospitals and cremation grounds is increasing.
However, no such information has been given by China. According to the report of The Star, CDC has said that the risk of infection is higher in patients already suffering from diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary.
The risk of spreading the virus through coughing and sneezing is high. If the effect of the virus is severe, it can also cause bronchitis and pneumonia. According to Reuters, China is also testing a surveillance system to deal with this.
Once infected, its effects are visible in 3 to 5 days.
Identified for the first time in 2001 The HMPV virus was first identified in 2001. A Dutch researcher had detected this virus in samples of children suffering from respiratory disease. However, this virus has been present for the last 6 decades.
This virus is present in the environment in all types of seasons, but the risk of its spread is highest in winter.
Corona virus spread from China in 2019 The first case of Covid-19 was found in Wuhan city of China in 2019. It was then thought to be a mysterious pneumonia. It was spread by SARS-CoV-2 virus (Corona virus).
After this this virus spread rapidly in the world. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared it a global pandemic.
More than 70 crore cases of Covid were recorded worldwide. Apart from this, more than 70 lakh deaths were also recorded.
