Goa gets first suspected case of Nipah virus
The state-run Goa Medical College hospital near Panaji, on Monday, quarantined a native of Kerala who travelled to Goa by train after he developed symptoms similar to those affected by the deadly Nipah virus. Health Minister Vishwajeet Rane, told presspersons that it was still unclear whether the patient was suffering from Nipah disease and that they would get clarity once test results are verified at the National Institute of Virology in Pune. The person admitted himself to the hospital, after he felt he had some symptoms similar to those affected by Nipah and he has been kept in the isolation ward at the GMC,” said Mr. Rane. Nipah virus, which has led to some deaths in Kerala, is transmitted through direct contact with infected bats, pigs or from other NiV-infected people.
