Kerala is reporting a rise in Shigella infections, with multiple districts affected and outbreaks declared in several areas. According to state health updates cited by outlets, Kerala records additional cases over recent days, bringing the year’s total to around 226–241 reported infections and deaths to six during the year/June period, depending on the specific day’s tally. Reporting highlights that Kozhikode is the worst-hit district, with Malappuram and Wayanad also among the most affected. The Health Department attributes Shigella transmission primarily to contaminated food or water and spread through contact, and notes that the infection typically causes diarrhoea, fever, and stomach cramps. In parallel, Kerala continues monitoring the Nipah virus situation. Multiple reports state that there is no evidence of further Nipah spread beyond the confirmed Kozhikode case; symptomatic contacts are negative and some low-risk contacts complete observation and are released. The Nipah patient remains on ventilator support at Kozhikode Medical College Hospital. Additionally, one report says Kerala intensifies surveillance for Ebola at entry points, including traveller quarantine guidance for people coming from affected regions.
