The World Health Organization (WHO) says it does not expect the current outbreak of respiratory infections in China to be of global concern.
Spokesperson Margaret Harris told a press briefing in Geneva, “China’s reported levels of respiratory infections are within the usual range for the winter season. Authorities report that hospital utilization is currently lower than this time last year, and there have been no emergency declarations or responses triggered.”
She also said, as reported earlier, that the human metapneumovirus (HMPV) was not a new virus.
