Kozhikode: The medical team of the Manipal Virology Institute has confirmed that the person who died following fever was affected with H1N1. The deceased was identified as Perambra native Mujeeb.
Following his death, social media triggered panic among the public by spreading the news that the death was due to Nipah virus.
Mujeeb’s wife is also under treatment at the Kozhikode Medical College. Suspecting Nipah infection, Mujeeb’s funeral was held under strict observation of the health department. The officials collected fluid of Mujeeb and his wife and sent it for lab test to Manipal Virology Institute.
