A 25-year-old nurse has died after contracting the Nipah virus, senior health officials in India have warned. The case follows an outbreak of Nipah virus infections in West Bengal, near the state capital, Kolkata - India’s third-most populous city - prompting urgent contact tracing and quarantines. The virus is a rare but serious infectious disease carried by bats that can kill up to 75 per cent of those infected, according to UK health officials. #nipahvirus #virus #india 🎥 Reuters
