The names of 26 people were in the list.
A 23-year-old student from Bengaluru, a native of Chembaram near Naduvath in Vandoor, died at a private hospital in Perinthalmanna on Monday.
The primary lab test conducted at the Kozhikode Medical College was positive, and officials are awaiting confirmation from the Pune virology lab to take further action following the protocol.
Officials of Tiruvalli Panchayat in Malappuram district and the health department held a meeting to assess the current situation in the area.
Malappuram district health officials told IANS that the deceased had recently returned from Bengaluru with a leg injury.
The young man then developed fever and went to a clinic in Naduvath and a clinic in Vandoor.
A high-level meeting is being held at the Malappuram District Collectorate to discuss the further course of action.
It is noteworthy that Nipah virus had killed a 14-year-old boy from Malappuram district of Kerala on July 21, 2024.
The resurgence of the disease, which often spreads from fruit bats to other animals and humans, has prompted the government to impose containment measures in at least two panchayats in the district.
Doctors had injected the boy with monoclonal antibodies obtained from Australia by the Indian Council of Medical Research, but in the teenager's case, the deadline for administering the antibodies had passed.
Although the Medical Board authorized administration as a desperate life-saving measure, he could not be saved.
It may be recalled that in 2018, 18 people died due to the Nipah virus outbreak, which was the first time the deadly disease was detected in southern India.
