Kerala seems to have brought Nipah virus-related cases under control on Wednesday with the 23-year-old patient showing steady improvement. This has encouraged the government to go ahead with the reopening of schools in Ernakulam district for the new academic year as per schedule on June 6.
The medical bulletin issued by the Ernakulam district administration today, however, said that the number of patients admitted to the isolation ward has now gone up to seven. “As of June 4 night, six persons including the 23-year-old youth, had been placed in the isolation ward. On Wednesday, another person was admitted to the isolation ward for treatment after he showed symptoms of Nipah,” the medical bulletin stated.
