With recent reports of two cases of Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) in Bengaluru, doctors are reassuring the public that there is no immediate cause for alarm. However, certain groups such as children, the elderly, immunocompromised individuals, and those with pre-existing health conditions are advised to take extra precautions.
Preventive measures include washing hands regularly, wearing masks when necessary, and consulting a doctor if any symptoms are noticed. These simple steps can help reduce the spread of the virus and ensure early detection for those at higher risk.
