Health Minister Veena George to hold urgent review meeting to assess situation
Five more cases of Zika virus (ZIKV) infection surfaced in Kerala’s capital district on Thursday, taking the total number of cases reported so far in the State to 28. All lab-confirmed cases of ZIKV in the State have so far been reported from Thiruvananthapuram alone. The initial cluster of cases had been reported from within a private hospital at Anayara in the city and within the 3-km radius of the institution. But now, with more new cases being reported from scattered urban locations in the district, Health Minister Veena George has called for an urgent review meeting later on Thursday to assess the situation.More Related News
