It is important for people in India to be alert about the HMP virus. It is important to be afraid of this virus and take it seriously. Because even if its symptoms are minor, the problem may last for a week or ten days, but only he is wise who works at the right time. So do not delay in taking precautions. Never take any enemy of health lightly. Because no one knows when it will take a dangerous form. Then there will be nothing left except rubbing hands.

Especially those who are already suffering from any disease, like high BP or sugar patients, need to be careful. People whose immunity is weak. They should also be careful. Apart from this, those who live a sedentary lifestyle or those who have weakened their lungs and liver by smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol. They should also take precautions.

These days there is an outbreak of cold winds; lifestyle-related diseases are increasing, so you should be careful of any virus.
