The threat of another dangerous virus began to hover across Punjab including Lahore. The Punjab Health Department has issued a high alert in view of the possible threat and spread of the virus called Nipah.
The initial symptoms of this virus, which has spread to neighboring countries, include cough, difficulty in breathing, high fever, tremors and deterioration of mental conditions.
In the instructions issued by the Punjab Health Department to prevent the spread of Nipah virus, it is said that this virus spreads very quickly from animals to humans and from one person to another.
According to the guidelines, there is no vaccine for this dangerous virus, so prevention is possible only with timely diagnosis and treatment.
Early research found the virus in other animals, including bats and pigs, and from there it was transmitted to humans. According to the post of the Health Department, the virus can be transmitted by bats eating the fruit on the tree and later if a human eats the same fruit. So wash all urban fruits thoroughly and eat them.
It has also been said that if any person has these symptoms, they should go to the nearest hospital immediately. If not treated in time, the patient can go into coma in 3 to 4 days and the death rate from this virus is 74%.
In the guidelines, orders have also been issued to upload the data of all suspected Nipah-affected patients on the dashboard in a timely manner, to isolate the patients, and to send the samples to the laboratory for PCR for timely investigation.
