Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, following Sindh’s lead, has issued a warning in response to worries about the potential spread of the Nipah virus on Tuesday.
To encourage local authorities to take action and stop the virus's spread, the province health department has sent an order.
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Health Department alerted all District Health Officers and Medical Superintendents of the virus’s close vicinity in neighboring India in a statement. It stressed the probable spread of the virus in the area and emphasized the need for preventative measures.
The district health office and other organizations were directed to quickly isolate patients who had the Nipah virus, ensure that cases were reported in a timely manner, and hasten the collection and delivery of samples to labs for analysis.
Notably, the Sindh Health Department has earlier issued a health warning owing to worries about the Nipah virus's spread.
