District Collector A Geetha said all schools located in the areas that fell within containment zones would be opened and regular classes would commence on Wednesday.
The Kerala government on Sunday said that there were no fresh Nipah positive cases with test results of 42 samples, of persons in the high risk contact list, coming out negative.
The mortality rate among those infected with the Nipah virus is much higher compared to those infected with Covid, Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) chief Dr Rajiv Bahl said on Friday.
The Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology in Kerala has rolled out a fully-equipped mobile virology testing laboratory, strengthening efforts to contain the Nipah virus infection reported from parts of Kozhikode district.
So far, 77 contacts of Nipah patients have been identified as high-risk. Contact tracing maps of the two victims who passed away in Kozhikode have also been released.
