Coimbatore: Kerala is currently confronting a serious health threat from the West Nile Virus. According to health reports, the virus has been spreading swiftly, particularly in the districts of Kozhikode and Malappuram. Despite the high rate of infection, it's alarming that about 80% of those infected exhibit no symptoms, making the virus difficult to detect and contain.

Recently, 10 individuals have been admitted to hospitals in these districts due to the virus. Tragically, a senior citizen aged 79 has succumbed to the illness, intensifying concerns about the virus' impact on older adults.

In response to this escalating health crisis, Health Minister Veena George has issued guidelines urging the public to remain vigilant and follow preventive measures strictly. The rapid dissemination and the asymptomatic nature of the virus underline the crucial need for heightened awareness and robust response strategies from health authorities.
