HMPV is known to primarily affect children and is a significant contributor to respiratory infections. Globally, about 0.7% of all flu samples are identified as HMPV. However, there is limited information about the specific strain of the virus in this case.

The health department also mentioned the need for more comprehensive data, especially regarding potential links to a variant seen in China. “We don’t yet know what strain of the virus this is because we lack comparative data on what strain is being reported in China,” the official added.
