The city is now mandating isolation for suspected HMPV cases and strict reporting protocols for all Influenza-like Illness (ILI) and Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI) cases.
Hospitals are being equipped with essential medications, and healthcare professionals are being instructed to implement infection control measures to prevent further spread.
As global concerns rise, Delhi aims to stay ahead of the virus with proactive measures.
Learn more about these steps and their impact on public health.
