In the wake of suspected Nipah virus infection in a patient at a private hospital in Kochi, a high-level committee has decided to strengthen preventive measures well ahead of getting a confirmation from the National Institute of Virology (NIV) in Pune
The committee, comprising Health Secretary Rajan Kobargade, District Collector Mohammed Y. Safirulla, District Medical Officer N. K. Kuttappan and other senior Health officials, met in Kochi after a private hospital reported on Sunday that a college student from North Parvur studying in Thodupuzha was admitted with an infection that could not be identified by them.

A team from Kozhikode is arriving here to oversee and train the Health officials here for the technical management in case the infection gets confirmed, District Medical Officer N. K. Kuttappan told The Hindu.
It was decided to open a control room at the Collectorate for any information related to Nipah virus. An isolation ward is being arranged at the Government Medical College, Ernakulam. Equipment and other facilities were being brought into the casualty ward.
