Kerala has reported a sharp rise in Shigella infections, with four deaths recorded this month alone. Health authorities have confirmed 146 cases and five fatalities so far this year, exceeding last year’s total caseload. State officials have linked the increase to inadequate pre-monsoon sanitation efforts and are urging stronger public health measures, improved hygiene practices, and greater awareness to contain the spread of the bacterial disease. #Kerala #Health #Shigella #PublicHealth #India
