The current Nipah episode in Kerala seems to be under control and there are few chances of a second wave of the infection, Health Minister Veena George has said.
She told the media on Saturday evening that no fresh cases had been reported on the day so far. Eleven more body fluid samples of suspected patients had turned out to be negative for the virus. All of them were high-risk contacts of the infected persons.
The Minister said one of the contacts of the 39-year-old infected person from Cheruvannur had gone into isolation after exhibiting symptoms. Collection of details of other contacts were on.
