What is HMPV? The signs, symptoms and spread

Health and Aged Care Minister Mark Butler has revealed the government is closely monitoring a viral infection with flu-like symptoms in China, declaring the illness, which has sparked comparisons with the outbreak of Covid-19 five years ago, is “quite common” here in Australia. State media in China reported the country is experiencing a surge in human metapneumovirus (HMPV) cases that is particularly dangerous for young children, the elderly and the vulnerable. Common symptoms include coughing and fever, though severe cases can progress to bronchitis or pneumonia. Recent social media posts have depicted crowded hospital waiting rooms, where mask-wearing adults are bringing children for treatment. Meanwhile, unverified reports on Chinese-language websites based outside the country claim crematoriums and funeral homes are being overwhelmed, though no direct link to HMPV has been established. Neighbouring countries said they were monitoring the spread of the respiratory virus, but played down initial causes for alarm.
