00:00I am Dr. Gaurav Sasdeva, Consulting Physician and Critical Care Specialist.
00:06For the past few days, there has been a lot of fear.
00:12Especially today, which is 6th January,
00:15for the first time in India, four cases of this virus have been found.
00:21Two in Karnataka, Bangalore, one in Gujarat and one in Calcutta.
00:27So, what is this virus?
00:30We call it HMPV, Human Meta-Pneumovirus.
00:35This virus is a respiratory syncytial virus,
00:40which is usually found in babies.
00:43It is a virus similar to that.
00:46But, this virus, which was found in RSV babies,
00:51in almost 0.7 days, the baby would be cured with antibiotics and medicines.
00:56But, this virus can make the pneumonia a broken pneumonia,
01:01and can create problems for us, and can also kill the patient.
01:05China is not telling this openly yet,
01:08but the sources say that about 7000 infants,
01:14infants under the age of 14, have died in China.
01:21China's Disease Control Center is saying that
01:26from 16th December to 22nd December,
01:29the rate of cases of this virus has increased.
01:35But, because there are four cases in India now,
01:40we will have to be very careful.
01:43I would like to tell you all,
01:46that we have to wear masks when we take precautions against COVID-19.
01:51The symptoms of COVID-19 are the same.
01:55If you have a cold, sore throat, dry throat, fever,
02:00these symptoms can cause problems for us.
02:05And, we have to wash our hands regularly.
02:09We have to wear a mask regularly.
02:14Do not go to crowded places.
02:16Use sanitizer.
02:18Do not shake hands with others.
02:23Avoid unnecessary travelling.
02:27If it is very important, we can go to a public hospital.
02:30But, avoid unnecessary travelling.
02:34If you have a cold, sore throat, fever,
02:37or if you are going to school,
02:39you have to report it.
02:41Because, HMPV treatment has not been tested yet.
02:48Prevention is the only way to save yourself.
02:52But, do not create panic.
02:55Save yourself.
02:57And, keep an eye on the situation.
03:00How can we save ourselves from the virus?
03:03The virus is mostly transmitted to children.
03:06Or, it can be transmitted to the elderly.
03:08Or, the adults who are immunocompromised,
03:12especially those who are on chemotherapy,
03:14those who have had a heart bypass surgery,
03:17those who have cancer,
03:19those who are on dialysis,
03:20those who have kidney disease,
03:21or those who have a chronic liver disease or cirrhosis,
03:25or smokers,
03:27or asthma patients,
03:29or COPD patients,
03:31they have a higher chance of contracting the virus.
03:33So, to improve your immunity,
03:35avoid cold, ice-cold, sour food,
03:37sweet food, pickles,
03:39and street food.
03:41Take Vitamin C and Zinc.
03:43Involve yourself in Yoga.
03:46Do Pranayama.
03:48Do deep breathing exercises.
03:50And, save yourself from the virus.
03:53Sir, winter season is going on.
03:55What kind of exercises can people do in winter season?
03:57Yoga is something
03:59that you can do anywhere,
04:01anywhere in your home.
04:03You can ride a cycle in your home.
04:07We advise the elderly not to go out in the open.
04:11And, when you feel a little better,
04:13you can go out for a walk.
