respiratory diseases are on the rise in China. The country's health ministry has ordered local authorities to increase the number of clinics to keep the situation under control. Various institutions including schools have also been asked to control the crowd to prevent infection. Meanwhile, Beijing has told the world not to worry, saying that no new virus has been found in the spread of the disease.

The new disease has spread to many parts of the country, but the outbreak is highest in the capital Beijing and Liaoning province.

Before the mysterious lung infection turned into an epidemic, several steps were taken to deal with the situation. The number of doctors has been increased in northern hospitals. Even to handle the additional patient pressure, the National Health Commission has directed the local administrations in different provinces of the country to set up clinics. Institutions with high presence of children have been advised to control the crowd.

Mi Feng, spokesperson of China's National Health Commission, said that infectious diseases of the respiratory system have recently increased in the country. In such a situation, clinics and medical centers should be increased. Apart from this, it is necessary to take steps to supply adequate medicines and diagnose the disease quickly. Important places like schools, child care homes and nursing homes should limit the movement of people to stop the spread of the disease.

However, Beijing has given the message to the world not to panic. In their report to WHO, they claim that no unknown virus has been found in this respiratory disease. Rather, children's lungs are getting infected due to known viruses like rhinovirus, mycoplasma pneumonia.

WHO spokesperson Christian Lindmeyer said the symptoms seen in respiratory disorders in China are common to several respiratory diseases. The observation of the country sent to us says that the disease is spreading due to known germs. It can easily be treated with antibiotics.

It is not uncommon for diseases such as respiratory infections, influenza or colds to spread in China before winter. The country's doctors claim that since it is the first winter after lifting the restrictions of the corona virus, the outbreak of various viruses has increased several times than before. Due to which this disease is spreading.
