Mysuru: The District Administration is on high alert for the Nipah virus (NiV) that has caused the death of over 10 people in Kerala. Given the proximity of Mysuru and Kerala where thousands of people travel via Bandipur, H.D. Kote, and Manandawadi every day, the administration is taking no chances and a Rapid Response Team has been formed to tackle the deadly disease.
Speaking to Star of Mysore this morning, District Surgeon and In-charge District Health Officer Dr. N. Pashupathi said that they have issued directions to hospitals and nursing homes.
