Shigellosis case numbers increase across Kerala, with multiple districts reporting additional laboratory-confirmed infections and health authorities expanding surveillance and awareness efforts. The reports cite new cases being confirmed in Wayanad, including seven additional Shigella cases, where the district medical officer says infectious disease surveillance and prevention and control awareness activities are strengthened. Other updates from Kerala indicate further rises in confirmed cases, with totals reported as climbing to 196 and further increases reported on subsequent days, including 13 more cases on Saturday and 10 more cases. One report also mentions a death attributed to shigellosis alongside fresh cases. Another outlet reports a higher month-to-date tally, with June totals reaching 165 and later figures indicating 290 in June, reflecting differing reporting cut-offs or aggregation periods. Across the coverage, Kozhikode, Malappuram and Wayanad are identified among the districts with the highest number of cases during June. Authorities continue to monitor the situation through district-level public health measures and targeted prevention efforts.
