The health department has issued a precautionary warning in the wake of two people being detected with the H1N1 virus, commonly known as swine flu, in Kasaragod.
District Medical Officer A.V. Ramdas said that of the total five people checked for the virus, two from Trikaripur have tested positive.
Though there is no need for panic, people should take necessary precautions to ensure that they are not infected or pass on the virus to others, he said. The germs are transmitted from one person to another through air.
