What is the situation now?
Open-access surveillance platform ProMed said on the pneumonia outbreak in China that the disease, which particularly affects children, could turn into an epidemic. The outbreak of the disease is still high in northern China. Most of the children affected by this mysterious disease are coming to hospitals in Beijing and Liaoning. Schools in these cities have been closed due to the rapid spread of the disease.
Why does this disease spread?
The Chinese administration believes that due to increasing respiratory problems, the restrictions related to Corona will have to be eased. Apart from this, influenza virus and mycoplasma pneumonia are also considered as the cause. Worryingly, this time in China, the virus is only making the youth and children sicker.

China’s health authorities say that pneumonia bacteria only affect the respiratory system. Apart from this, if the case worsens, the lungs are also affected. In such a situation, people have to be admitted to the hospital.
So what is the mysterious pneumonia epidemic?
The World Health Organization (WHO) has not yet released any information on whether there is an epidemic of mysterious pneumonia. At the same time, surveillance platform Pro-Med also said it would be wrong and premature to call it an epidemic. Last week, China’s National Health Commission cited the lifting of corona restrictions as the cause of the pneumonia outbreak. The World Health Organization (WHO) has requested a list of all types of viruses currently circulating in China to investigate the disease.
