The Health Ministry said, “Both cases were identified through routine surveillance for multiple respiratory viral pathogens, as part of ICMR’s ongoing efforts to monitor respiratory illness across the country.”

Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is a common respiratory virus that causes an respiratory infection such as cold and cough. Experts said infections, including human metapneumonia virus, are more likely to affect children and the elderly, so they, as well as those with other serious illnesses and people receiving palliative care, should be more cautious.
