The southern state of Kerala in India has implemented measures to contain the spread of the Nipah virus, which has already claimed two lives. Schools, offices, and public transport have been shut, and strict isolation rules have been put in place. The virus, which is spread through contact with infected bats, pigs, or humans, has a high mortality rate but is less infectious. Health officials are focusing on tracing contacts and isolating symptomatic individuals. Three federal teams have arrived to conduct tests and survey the bat population in affected areas.
The district health officer Dr Sudarshan asked the eight medical colleges in Mangaluru to keep patients under observation who come to them with suspected cases of brain fever. Sudarshan told reporters here on Wednesday that directives have been issued taluk hospitals, primary health centres in the district to promptly conduct fever surveys.
