Various types of viral infections are being reported in high numbers from different parts of Kozhikode even as south-west monsoon is gaining momentum across the district.
Dengue fever, H1N1 (influenza), leptospirosis, and common flu are the most commonly seen viral infections. Jaundice cases too are being reported. There is some amount of confusion also among people’s minds if the symptoms are that of COVID-19. But many are reluctant to undergo tests. The officially reported COVID-19 cases, however, are fewer in Kozhikode compared to other districts.
As many as 1,911 people sought outpatient (OP) treatment for fever on July 4 while 16 were admitted. There was one suspected death due to leptospirosis. Kozhikode is in the second slot in terms of total number of patients seeking treatment for fever. Malappuram is on top of the list.
