As new cases of the Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV) emerge, particularly in infants across various regions in India, there is growing public concern and market volatility. Despite the Ministry of Health's reassuring messages, fears seem heightened, particularly as the stock market reacts negatively, suggesting a potential return to mask mandates and heightened public health protocols.
Union Health Minister Shri J.P. Nadda emphasized that the HMPV is not a new virus, having been identified back in 2001 and that the recent cases should not cause unnecessary alarm. He highlighted that the virus typically spreads during winter and early spring, and it's essential for the public to remain informed rather than anxious.
