One more person has died in Kerala’s Kozhikode due to Nipah virus, taking the death toll to 11, the state’s health department on Thursday issued an advisory for people travelling to the state.
Though the state’s department of health and family welfare is claiming that Kerala is safe and the situation is under control, it has urged travelers to be extra cautious while visiting Kozhikode, Malappuram, Wayanad and Kannur districts.
“The infection remains highly localised, all cases being linked to one family… the Health Department is taking effective steps for management of reported cases and surveillance through tracing of the contact of these persons. The situation remains under control,” said the department in the advisory.
