Kozhikode ∙ The health department has issued a high alert as two unusual deaths due to fever have been reported in the district within a week. This is due to suspicion of Nipah in two deceased persons. Confirmation of Nipah will be received only after receiving the result of sending the body fluids for testing today.
Both the deaths were in a private hospital in the city. The reason for the examination was that both the deceased had Nipah symptoms. Three relatives of one of them are undergoing treatment in the hospital. Since Nipah has been reported twice earlier, the health department is taking steps accordingly. Relatives of the deceased and treated health workers are under observation.
The private hospital informed the government about Nipah symptoms. Then a high-level meeting was held in Thiruvananthapuram under the leadership of Minister Veena George. Director of Health and Director of Medical Education will reach Kozhikode today. A fever survey was conducted in Maruthonkara yesterday.
