A man in Kozhikode, Kerala, has returned a preliminary positive test for Nipah infection and is under observation. Kerala health officials have previously issued alerts against Nipah for the April-to-September period, focusing on Kozhikode, Malappuram, Palakkad, and Thrissur districts. Past outbreaks suggest the virus tends to be active in the state during these months.
