High alert sounded in Karnataka following outbreak of Nipah virus in neighbouring Kerala


The Karnataka health department has sounded high alert in the state against outbreak of Nipah virus in neighbouring Kerala.
In Kerala, seven persons were kept in ICU and more than 300 people were quarantined causing concern about possibility of its spread to neighbouring States.
In the meanwhile, Kerala health minister K.K. Shailaja said on Thursday that six patients who were under observation suspecting Nipah virus at the Government Medical College in Kochi were tested negative.
The lab report received from the National Virology Institute in Pune showed that the six patients were not affected with Nipah, the mMinister told newspersons.
Though the latest report gives much relief, the preparation to counter the deadly virus will continue, Shailaja added.
