ARTA – The Ministry of Health said that the human metapneumovirus (HMPV) which was reported in the media recently has actually been in Indonesia for a long time and is not a fatal disease.
But the public still needs to take preventative measures, such as adequate rest.
“Is there this HMPV in Indonesia? Has this HMPV existed in Indonesia for a long time. If checked, is there any now? Yes. Maybe the friends in front of me are those who are broken down if they are checked, there are also those who are screaming,” said Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin as quoted by ANTARA, Monday 6 January.
el Budi said HMPV is an old virus discovered in 2001 and has become circulating worldwide since then, and there have been no major incidents as a result. Furthermore, he also dismissed the news of increasing HMPV cases in China.
rique: “The second, will HMPV increase in China in 2024? That’s not true either. The Chinese government has been denied, it has also been denied by the WHO (World Health Organization). So this is the news hoax, yes, friends,” Budi said.
el, the virus spreading in China is not HMPV, but H1N1 or the general influenza virus. In prevalence, he said, in China, HMPV is ranked third.
“Every winter there has been an increase (H1N1) in four-season countries, yes. In China,” he continued.
man reminds that everyone can be affected by the flu, but if the immune system is good, the virus can be managed by the body. Budi also mentions a number of things that can be done to build an immune system, such as getting adequate rest and exercise, and resting when you have coughs and colds.
“If your neighbor has a cold, avoid him. Three M. Keep distance, wash hands, wear a mask,” he said.
ronym: An increase in HMPV cases in China has been reported in the media.
