Shivamogga, May 24: While efforts are on to contain the spread of the Nipah virus from Kerala to Karnataka, three suspected Nipah virus cases were reported in Sagar taluk of Shivamogga district.

Sources stated that Mithun, a resident of Shiravante village, Sagar taluk, complained of fever two days ago. He had apparently returned from Kerala last week where nearly a dozen people died due to Nipah virus infection.

Mithun’s blood sample has been sent to the National Institute of Virology (NIV), Pune, for an examination. Though Mithun has been asked to get admitted to the hospital, he hasn't so far.

In another case, blood samples of two fever patients of Maraturu village, were sent to NIV, Pune after two bats were discovered in an open well near their house.

Doctors have asked people to visit the nearby hospital if they are suffering from fever and cough.
