Kosovo has not identified any cases with the HMPV virus, which broke out in China. The Minister of Health, Arben Vitia, tried with these words to reassure the citizens, saying that there is no place for panic.
According to him, they are in constant contact with all mechanisms, including WHO and any other institution, A2 reports.
Meanwhile, Dr. Arjana Kalaveshi has given details of how the National Institute of Public Health in Kosovo tracks this virus.
The National Institute of Public Health of Kosovo has issued guidelines regarding Metapneumovirus after an increase in cases in some regions. According to the IKSHPK, HMPV is most likely to spread from an infected person to others through coughing and sneezing or close personal contact, such as kissing, touching or shaking hands.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Health and the National Institute of Public Health also announced that the immunization of boys with the papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine will begin in February, after such a vaccine was administered to girls last year. As it was said, since the start of the immunization process, 10,000 girls have been vaccinated against this virus. (A2 Televizion)
