01:46There has been news doing the rounds about a
01:49Meta-Pneumovirus outbreak in China.
01:52Let me be very clear on that count.
01:55Meta-Pneumovirus is like any other respiratory virus
01:58which causes a common cold.
02:00And in the very old and the very young
02:04it could cause flu-like symptoms.
02:07However, we have analyzed the data of the respiratory
02:11outbreaks within the country.
02:13There is no substantial increase in December 2024 data
02:19and no cases which have been reported in large numbers
02:23from any of our institutions.
02:26In any case, during winters there is an increased
02:28outbreak of respiratory virus infections
02:31for which our hospitals are usually prepared
02:34with the necessary supplies and the necessary beds.
02:37One thing I would like to convey to the public
02:40is to take the general precautions that we use
02:43against all respiratory infections
02:45which means in case somebody is cough and cold
02:47you should avoid coming in contact with a lot number
02:50of people so that the infection does not spread.
02:53And while using a distinct handkerchief or towel
02:58for coughing and sneezing
03:01and take the normal medicines that are required
03:04for cold or fever whenever it is there.
03:06Otherwise, nothing to be alarmed about the present situation.
