    What's the story

    A 39-year-old woman, who was under observation for Nipah virus symptoms, has died today.

    However, the samples of the woman were found to be negative, Kerala Health Minister KK Shailaja said.

    The cause of her death has to be ascertained, she said.

    A health department official said the woman accompanied a patient to Kozhikode Medical College Hospital where a Nipah-affected person was being treated.

    Details

    Woman had come in contact with Nipah-affected persons

    After the woman fell ill, she was shifted from Pariyaram Medical College to Kozhikode Medical College Hospital as she showed Nipah virus infection-like symptoms.

    Health authorities had drawn up a list of 1,949 people who came in contact with the Nipah-affected persons to monitor their health condition.

    The woman also figured on the list but tested negative for Nipah virus earlier as well.
