Nipah Virus  

Kerala Health Minister KK Shylaja on Tuesday (June 4) said that the test results of a 23-year-old engineering student in Ernakulam, who was admitted at a Kochi private hospital with high fever, has confirmed the presence of Nipah virus. 
 

A year ago, Nipah virus had claimed 18 lives in Kerala’s Kozhikode. Now, a youth from Thrissur, who was admitted to a private hospital in Ernakulam with high fever for 10 days, has been affected by the Nipah virus
 

Treatment is limited because Nipah virus encephalitis can be transmitted person-to-person. Standard infection control practices and proper barrier nursing techniques are essential in preventing hospital-acquired infections.

Sanitary workers who risked their lives working at the Kozhikode Medical Hospital in Kerala during the Nipah outbreak last year have started a hunger strike, seeking job permanency.   
 

Here is why the film Virus is going viral on social media. The film based on Nipah Virus is currently in the post-production stage and will hit the screens worldwide on July 7.
