00:00Children under one year of age, especially children under one year of age,
00:05have less immunity to get sick.
00:09So, there is a serious chance of getting sick.
00:12Overall, 99% is nothing.
00:15We have to take care of those children who get cold, fever, and flu.
00:22Parents are looking at it in a different way.
00:26What we see is that children under one year of age,
00:31children under five years of age,
00:33children who are not drinking milk properly,
00:35children who have high fever,
00:37children who have high flu,
00:39children who have asthma,
00:40children who are suffering from flu,
00:41they should immediately go to the nearest doctor or hospital.
00:44This is very, very important.
00:46Not only that,
00:47children who have immunodeficiency,
00:50children who have less immunity to get sick,
00:53for example, some have kidney problems,
00:55some have diabetes,
00:57children suffering from HIV,
01:00children suffering from cancer,
01:02children suffering from immunosuppressants,
01:04children suffering from steroids,
01:05they should be very careful.
01:07They should immediately go to the nearest doctor.
01:12My request is,
01:13if we are far away,
01:15if the nearest doctor or hospital is not nearby,
01:17or if we cannot go due to various reasons,
01:20you should immediately use the phone facility.
01:23There are many doctors in the WhatsApp video call.
01:26You should watch the video on WhatsApp.
01:28What should we do?
01:30Children under one month of age,
01:32are taking more than 60 times more blood.
01:35Children under one month of age,
01:36that is, new born babies,
01:38are taking more than 60 times more blood.
01:41That is a danger sign.
01:43This is a red flag.
01:45Similarly, children under one month of age,
01:47children under one year of age,
01:49are taking more than 50 times more blood.
01:52Children under one month of age,
01:55are taking more than 50 times more blood.
01:59That is a danger sign.
02:01Children under one year of age,
02:03are taking more than 40 times more blood.
02:05This is what we are seeing.
02:07No child is drinking milk properly.
02:11The fever is high.
02:13The cough is high.
02:14He is coughing.
02:16He is dull.
02:17If he is dull,
02:18immediately call the nearest doctor,
02:20and take the necessary treatment.
02:22Do not delay.
02:23There is a chance of a slight fever in one year.
02:27That is, if the immune system is not good.
02:31Okay, sir.
02:34Mr. Rangarethi,
02:35what kind of tests are being done to control this virus?
02:38Do we have the means to do that?
02:40How should the medical and health care system be developed?
02:45HMPV has already been tested for certain diseases.
02:52The most well-known test is RT-PCR.
02:56After COVID-19,
02:58everyone knew about RT-PCR.
03:02This is available in almost all major laboratories,
03:07hospitals,
03:08as well as medical college hospitals.
03:13After COVID-19,
03:15the central government and the state government
03:18took a special action
03:21and expanded the lab infrastructure.
03:25RT-PCR is now available in many places,
03:31including Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
03:37We can also do serological tests.
03:41We can also do antigen tests.
03:44We can also conduct a virus culture test.
03:48However,
03:49the time-consuming tests
03:51and the strictness of the regulations
03:54are very low compared to RT-PCR.
03:57So, due to the availability of RT-PCR,
04:00the availability of diagnostic facilities
04:05is not a problem at all.
04:07Since RT-PCR is available in government
04:10and private institutions,
04:12there is no need to worry about it.
04:15The second part of your question is,
04:19how can we improve our surveillance?
04:22First,
04:23we need to improve our surveillance.
04:26Sometimes,
04:27in hospitals,
04:30communities,
04:32and among people,
04:34we need to know the type of viruses
04:37and bacteria that are produced
04:40and how the disease trends change.
04:44We need to know this through surveillance.
04:47We already have a system for this.
04:50We have a national system.
04:53So, there is no need to worry about it.
04:56Also,
04:57since this is more common in young children,
