But traffic in containment zones is not what it used to be. There was less traffic on Wednesday, including in private buses. The warning of the health department is that the caution should not be dropped and the current caution should be continued for a few more days.
Ayancheri is relieved
Ayancheri panchayat was relieved that the test results of those who had close contact with Harris, a native of Mangalad, who died of Nipah, were negative. His friend Babu, who was with Harris for the last three days, his brother Nasar and Naushad Tayil, who took Harris to the medical college, were half relieved when the results came back negative.
Later, Harris’s wife and children also tested negative. The saliva of 20 people was collected from here. Only a few of these are yet to come.
When the nine-year-old girl sought treatment at the Harris Ayanchery Family Health Centre, she was shifted to the Kozhikode Medical College isolation ward with minor discomfort. When the child’s saliva was tested, it was also negative.
On Wednesday, the saliva of two people was collected from Ayangeri panchayat. Its test result is crucial. They are closely related after the death of Muhammadali of Maruthongara. Currently there are no health problems but the test is done as a precaution.
