Triangle hospitals limiting visitors as viruses spread What we know about the new HMPV virus As journalists report, HMPV causes flu-like symptoms and can lead to serious respiratory issues, especially among children and vulnerable groups. HMPV is a respiratory virus that causes infections of both the upper and lower respiratory tracts. The disease was first identified in 2001, but no vaccine has been developed to prevent it. Symptoms of HMPV are similar to those of the flu, including cough, fever, nasal congestion, and shortness of breath. However, in severe cases, the virus can lead to complications such as bronchitis or pneumonia. Depending on the severity of the case, the incubation period typically lasts 3-7 days, and full recovery can take several more days. How the virus spreads HMPV is an infectious disease, meaning it can spread through the air as well as by touch. The virus can be transmitted when coughing or sneezing. It remains active on the surface of objects at room temperature, so touching such an object can also lead to infection. Similar to COVID-19 This virus shares many similarities with COVID-19. Both affect the respiratory system and cause symptoms such as coughing, fever, congestion, sore throat, and shortness of breath. They both spread through respiratory pathways. As reported, the WHO has demanded China to release data on COVID-19, as the origin of the virus has not yet been determined. google.com
