Dakshina Kannada DC Rajendra said the 25-year-old man works in a Goa-based company that manufactures test kits for COVID-19 and Nipah. He travelled in his two-wheeler from Goa to his hometown Karwar when he got drenched in rain after which he suffered from fever and headache. He searched the internet, suspected infection by Nipah virus, and approached a hospital in Karwar. He was referred to a private hospital in Udupi and then brought to government-run Wenlock Hospital in Mangalore. The anxiety of a 25-year-old, made health authorities send blood, urine and nasal swab samples to National Institute of Virology, Pune for tests. He has no fever or other symptoms of Nipah, or any other infection, said Deputy Commissioner K.V. Rajendra.
