China Battles New Virus Outbreak: A New Health Crisis? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Описание: China Battles New Virus Outbreak: A New Health Crisis? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

China is once again at the centre of a health concern, five years after the COVID-19 pandemic began. Social media is abuzz with images and videos of crowded hospitals in northern China, where cases of Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV), a respiratory illness, are reportedly on the rise.
HMPV isn’t new—it was first detected in 2001 and is found globally. However, the virus primarily targets children and adolescents, making this outbreak particularly concerning. While there’s no vaccine for HMPV yet, no emergency has been declared by the WHO or China’s CDC. Palki Sharma tells you more.
