After the recent death of a 24-year-old youth from the Nipah virus in Kerala, the government has come into action. The Kerala government has created several containment zones in Malappuram and imposed restrictions on them. Five wards of two panchayats in Malappuram district have been declared containment zones and instructions have been given not to gather in large numbers of people.
Shops will be closed by 7 pm.
Seeing the rapid spread of the Nipah Virus, the district authorities have asked the shops in the containment zone to be closed by 7 pm. Cinema halls, schools, colleges, madrasas, Anganwadis, and tuition centers will remain closed in the containment zone.
The number of people attending weddings will be reduced
Meanwhile, partial restrictions have been imposed in Malappuram district. Officials have asked people to wear masks in public places. Instructions have also been issued to reduce the number of people attending weddings, funerals, and other events in the district.
