    What's the story

    A heartfelt letter written by a nurse from Kerala minutes before she died of the 'Nipah' virus has gone viral on social media, leaving people teary-eyed.

    In her letter to her husband Sajeesh, Lini expressed her pain and anguish that she could not see him again.

    "I am almost on the way. I do not think I can meet you," she had written.

    DEATH

    She got exposed to Nipah while treating the patients

    28-year-old Lini was working in the Perambra Taluk Hospital in Kozhikode and got exposed to the virus while treating affected patients. She died yesterday.

    Lini is survived by her husband who works in Bahrain and two sons aged five and two.

    She had requested her husband to take care of their children and take them to the Gulf nation with him.

    Claimed 10 so far

    Her relatives could not even see her body

    Sajeesh had come home two days ago after he came to know about Lini's health.

    Her relatives could not see even her body; however, they paid their last respects as they allowed the authorities to cremate.

    Nipah virus has so far claimed 10 lives in Kozhikode and Malappuram districts in north Kerala while the condition of two undergoing treatment is said to be critical.

    Virus details

    The natural host of the virus are fruit bats of the Pteropodidae family.
