SHOT: Metapneumovirus registered in three regions of Russia

It is noted that all patients have the same symptoms - a temperature of about 38 degrees, not falling during the week, chills, severe cough and shortness of breath. In some cases, the temperature rises to 39.5. Moreover, the usual antipyretics almost do not cope with it. One of the mothers of a sick child told about the situation in the clinic, where they came to the reception. They were in line for two hours, some of them waiting for five hours. How long to wait is unknown. No place to sit, everyone swears. The situation is tense. Doctors recorded the presence of metapneumovirus (hMPV) in Buryatia, the Altai Republic and the Sverdlovsk region. According to experts, more than 50% of cases are children. Due to the complicated epidemiological situation in the regions, kindergartens and schools continue to be quarantined. There are also outbreaks of coronavirus COVID-19 and influenza A and B. Parents are in panic. Citizens of Russia say that the virus infects entire families, and a severe cough later develops into bronchitis.
