Nipah nuisance

With Nipah virus attack having been confirmed in the state of Kerala this May, the people are bound to panic if the dreaded disease would make its outbreak annually periodical despite encouraging steps and statements by government, what with 13 lives lost in May 2018 due to NIV? The government has swung into action on war footing and it is hoped that this time too, further outbreak can be foiled fast and within short spell as it did the previous year.
