NCDC, however, said in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Health and partners, a risk assessment has classified the threat of hMPV in Nigeria as moderate.

The announcement followed reports of increased respiratory infections in parts of the Northern Hemisphere, including China. The rise, attributed to seasonal trends, involves common respiratory pathogens like hMPV, influenza, and RSV.

In a public advisory signed by NCDC Director General, Dr. Jide Idris, the agency stated that it was closely monitoring the global situation and has implemented measures to safeguard public health. It urged citizens to remain calm, avoid panic, and adhere to preventive health measures.
