A dangerous virus is sweeping through Kerala and I request all of you to take necessary precautions against it. The infection spreads through fruit bats causes inflammation in the brain that then progresses to fever and headache. It takes 5-14 days for symptoms to appear.
The WHO advises people to avoid eating fruits fallen on the ground, uncooked vegetables or fruits and restrain from drinking any raw fluids that come from trees including toddy and date palm syrup.
I also request you to please avoid circulating unfounded rumors on social media and spreading panic. Make sure you wash your hands often and thoroughly. If you have a mild cold or fever, please get yourself checked at the nearest hospital or clinic.
