He had apparently returned from Kerala last week where nearly ten people died due to Nipah virus infection.

In another case, blood samples of two people of Maraturu village, were sent to NIV, Pune when two bats were discovered in an open well near their house.
Doctors have asked people to visit the nearby hospital if they are suffering from fever and cough.
