Nipah test results of 13 people turn -ve, no new cases in state

Hindustan Times  

Kerala breathed a sigh of relief on Monday after the results of the serum tests on 13 people who were in close contact with the 14-year-old boy from Pandikkad in Malappuram turned out to be negative for Nipah virus. The state had been on high alert since the boy died of Nipah virus at a Government Medical College Hospital in Kozhikode on July 21, marking the fourth outbreak of the deadly infection in six years. A patient, who according to medics is suffering from Nipah infection, is shifted to an ICU of Nipah isolation ward in Kozhikode Medical College in Kozhikode district in Kerala. Six people had displayed symptoms of Nipah virus infection, while three others were from the secondary contact list. Across Malappuram, the state government has constituted 25 committees to identify and isolate affected individuals as part of the Nipah virus control measures.
