Nipah virus in Kerala is reportedly a Bangladesh variant with ‘high mortality rate’ | Oneindia News
On Wednesday, the Kerala government said in the assembly that the Nipah virus, which has killed two people out of four infected, was a strain of the Bangladesh variant.
Kerala Health Minister Veena George said that the variant has a high mortality rate but was less infectious.
George confirmed that the recent “unnatural deaths” in the state's Kozhikode district were a result of the virus.
As per reports, one of the people affected with the virus died this month, while the other death occurred on August 30.
This is the fourth Nipah outbreak in Kerala since 2018.
Out of 23 infected people, 21 died when Kerala first reported the Nipah outbreak in 2018.
