Addressing mediapersons here on Tuesday, Mr. Vijayan said the Health department continued to maintain a state of high vigil and was going ahead with efficient measures for disease containment and to ensure that the best of medical care was provided to the affected.
All nearby districts of Kannur, Wayanad and Malappuram have also been put on the alert and the district administrations have taken necessary measures to be on the vigil and to launch preventive action.
