ANANTAPUR: Health Minister Y Satya Kumar Yadav has reassured the public that Guillain-Barré Syndrome is not contagious and urged people not to panic. Following the detection of five cases at Guntur Government General Hospital, he immediately reviewed the situation with senior health officials and dispatched Special Chief Secretary Krishna Babu to assess conditions firsthand.
