Centre steps up efforts to check spread of Nipah virus in Kerala
New Delhi: The centre has taken stringent measures to contain the outbreak of the deadly Nipah virus infection, which has claimed six lives so far in Kerala’s Kozhikode district. While patients infected with the virus have been kept in isolation, both public and private hospitals have been provided with protective equipment to ensure that the virus does not spread among medical staff. According to the ministry, seven patients are admitted in Baby Memorial Hospital, Government Medical College in Kozhikode and Amrutha Medical College in Ernakulam. “With early and efficient containment measures undertaken jointly by the ministry of health and family welfare and the government of Kerala, the outbreak is unlikely to spread.”
