Kerala has reported a suspected Nipah virus case after a 43-year-old trader from Kozhikode tested positive in preliminary screening. Health officials have declared containment measures, initiated extensive contact tracing, and isolated individuals who may have been exposed. Authorities believe the infection may be linked to an area frequented by fruit bats, known carriers of the virus. Final confirmation from the National Institute of Virology is awaited. #Kerala #NipahVirus #HealthAlert #Kozhik
