Eminent virologist Dr. Jacob John is now hogging the limelight for his latest warning!!
He mentioned that the TN state government must quickly constitute a small committee to take steps to combat the spreading of Nipah virus. It is known that this deadly virus has already led to deaths of 2 persons in Kerala state. He warned that if steps were not taken then the state of TN would also get affected. Information collected is that Nipah virus has already affected Bangladesh, WB and Kerala etc.
Know about the determinants causing virus:
Dr. Jacob John spoke about how it was essential to know about the determinants that would lead to Nipah virus. To successfully fight the Nipah virus, it was important to know why the virus affected Kerala twice and why the spread has been taking place in the second half of the year. Knowing the determinants was very important as no cure has been found out for Nipah virus till now. By this only, the virus could be prevented from entering the state of TN.
It must be recalled that some time back many health experts etc have mentioned about the fading away of Covid- 19 but that has not happened till now. According to a top medical officer from TN it was clear that a circular has been sent to all the TN districts to keep an eye on the symptom or outbreak etc.
