BHUBANESWAR: Amid detection of human metapneumovirus (HMPV) infection in the country, the Odisha government has called a crucial meeting of health officials on Wednesday.
Sources said the Health and Family Welfare department will review the preparedness for surveillance and management and deliberate on the steps to be taken to address the concerns regarding the virus.
The meeting assumes significance as the three-day Pravasi Bharatiya Divas convention that was attended by NRIs from more than 70 countries was concluded recently and the state is going to organise its flagship investment summit on January 28 and 29.
