The State government will constitute a high-level team to investigate the death of a 22-year-old suspected monkey pox patient.
Taking to the mediapersons here on Sunday, Health Minister Veena George said the possibility of death due to monkey pox was very remote. The patient, a native of Thrissur, had returned from the UAE and was undergoing treatment for severe fatigue and brain fever.
“Though he had tested positive for monkey pox during a test conducted in a foreign country, it was only on Saturday that his relatives handed over this result to the hospital,” she said.
