In India, the first death associated with the dangerous “Nipah” virus has been officially confirmed. It is reported that a young woman living in the city of Kolkata was hospitalized in serious condition, later fell into a coma, and died despite the efforts of doctors.
According to media reports, in order to prevent the widespread spread of the disease, hundreds of citizens have been placed under quarantine. Medical monitoring has been intensified, and individuals who may have had contact are being examined.
In response to the situation, a number of countries have begun taking precautionary measures. In particular, the Thai government has strengthened sanitary control at airports for passengers arriving from India. Passengers are being screened for virus-related symptoms.
Experts assess the situation as serious and urge the population to strictly follow precautionary measures.
