‘No need to worry, India is fully prepared’, said the Health Ministry on the new virus spreading in China
New Delhi :-In 2020, the corona pandemic wreaked havoc across the world. People had not yet got over the fear of this when the news of another virus in China has emerged as a headache for the world. Vigilance is also being exercised in India regarding this.
On Saturday, the Union Health Ministry assured people that there was no need to worry about the recent surge in cases of respiratory diseases in China, including those caused by human metapneumovirus (HMPV).
In a statement, the ministry emphasised that everything is fine in China and India is fully prepared to deal with respiratory infections effectively.
Ministry issued statement after the meeting
Actually, this statement came after the Health Ministry convened a meeting of the Joint Monitoring Group to assess the situation. The ministry said, “Officials are closely monitoring updates from the World Health Organization (WHO) and other international channels to be aware of any potential risks.”
The ministry has also requested the WHO to provide timely updates to ensure a proactive approach. India’s surveillance data shows that there has been no significant increase in the number of respiratory infections or related hospitalizations across the country.
The ministry said, “Viruses like HMPV ahttp://worldaffairs365.com/how-to-have-you-also-been-a-victim-of-depression/re already in circulation in India and the existing health infrastructure is capable of handling any potential case.”
Health Ministry made this appeal to the people
Reiterating the country’s preparedness, the ministry highlighted that India’s strong surveillance system and healthcare resources are well-equipped to deal with respiratory diseases. It also urged citizens to remain calm and follow standard health precautions, including maintaining hygiene and seeking medical advice if symptoms appear.
China denied the news
Let us tell you that China rejected the news of a big outbreak of flu in the country and said that such news should be avoided, in which it is being claimed that there is a rush of patients in Chinese hospitals. China says that respiratory problems occur every year during the winter season, and the cases reported this year are less serious than last year. China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said that respiratory problems are at their peak during winter in the Northern Hemisphere (China and surrounding areas). He assured that it is safe to travel in China.
Videos of the hospital were going viral on social media
Videos of crowded hospitals are going viral on social media, but Mao Ning says that this is an annual phenomenon that happens during winter. The weather in China has also been very cold for the last few months, which may be the reason for this outbreak.
China’s National Disease Control and Prevention Administration has also issued guidelines for the prevention of respiratory diseases during the winter season. Its purpose is to alert people and prevent the possible spread of the virus.
