💢 #HMPV has been around for years. The symptoms seem to be more severe this year than in previous years (Influenza + COVID-like). The same thing happened in #China in 2023. Most cases are mild, but young children, adults over 65 and people with weakened immune systems are at a higher risk for serious illness. HMPV is common - most people get it before they turn 5. There is no vaccine currently to address this. Good to be watchful. Its already spreading in #Japan. Now with the New Year travel & Chinese New Year (29th Jan), #ASIA has to be wary! ⚡ Precautions while travelling across ASIA⚡ 1. **Wash your hands frequently**: Maintaining good hygiene habits and washing your hands frequently can effectively reduce the spread of viruses. 2. **Avoid close contact with infected persons**: Reduce direct contact with persons with suspected or confirmed HMPV infection, especially when coughing or sneezing. 3. **Environmental Disinfection**: Regularly clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces, such as door handles, keyboards, etc., to eliminate potential sources of viruses. 4. **Maintain indoor air circulation**: Ensure air circulation in living and working environments to reduce the spread of viruses in the air. 5. **Wear masks scientifically**: Wearing masks in crowded places or high-risk environments can effectively reduce the risk of virus transmission. 6. **Avoid going to crowded places**: Reduce going to crowded places, especially during high virus season, which can effectively reduce the risk of infection. ⚡Sharing an educational video that's viral on Chinese social media circles {amateurly translated by me}. **Consult your local Doctor for any symptoms or medications, and do not go by what's prescribed in the video, as it's only for local Chinese citizens.
