China Engages WHO Amid Rising HMPV Cases




The Chinese Foreign Ministry confirmed on Friday that it has been in close communication with the World Health Organization (WHO) regarding the recent surge in human metapneumovirus (HMPV) cases. The Chinese government emphasized its commitment to public health, both for its citizens and foreign nationals within the country.

According to the latest report from China's Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), HMPV cases remain high, aligning with trends observed in other parts of the northern hemisphere.

The WHO has also been in contact with Chinese health officials and has not received any reports of unusual outbreak patterns. Both organizations continue to monitor the situation closely, ensuring that appropriate measures are in place to manage the spread of respiratory diseases.
