Tamil Nadu Health Department Issues Advisory Amid Monkey Fever Surge in Karnataka

The Tamil Nadu Public Health Department has raised concerns over the increasing cases of Monkey Fever (Kyasanur Forest Disease) in neighbouring Karnataka districts, prompting the issuance of an advisory to Tamil Nadu forest authorities and local bodies in bordering areas. As Monkey Fever cases surge in Karnataka, with two fatalities and 103 hospitalizations reported in Shivamogga, Uttara Kannada, and Chickmagaluru districts, the threat looms large over Tamil Nadu’s border villages. A joint study by the Indian Council for Medical Research (ICMR) and the National Institute of Virology (NIV) has confirmed the presence of the virus in Mysore and Hassan districts of Karnataka, adjacent to Tamil Nadu. To mitigate the risk, health and forest authorities have intensified surveillance along the Tamil Nadu-Karnataka border, particularly targeting forest personnel, anti-poaching watchers, and guards, who are at higher risk due to their proximity to wildlife habitats. The Mudumalai Tiger Reserve (MTR) in the Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu, shares borders with the Bandipur National Park in Karnataka, where about 200 field staff operate daily, potentially exposing themselves to the virus carried by monkeys, rodents, and shrews. With the approaching dry season and forest fires, which can exacerbate the spread of ticks carrying the virus, the coming months pose heightened risks for field staff. Although vaccination against Monkey Fever was administered to forest personnel in the Nilgiris until 2020, the practice was disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Monkey Fever typically manifests symptoms like chills, fever, headache, severe muscle pain, vomiting, gastrointestinal issues, and bleeding. While there’s no specific treatment, early hospitalization and supportive therapy are crucial for managing the disease.

Tamil Nadu Half-Yearly Exams 2023 Postponed; New Schedule Announced

In response to the aftermath of Cyclone ‘Michaung,’ the Tamil Nadu government has officially declared the postponement of the half-yearly examinations for state-run and government-aided schools. Initially slated to commence on December 11, Chief Minister M K Stalin directed the deferment across the state to accommodate the recent challenges faced by educational institutions. The School Education Department swiftly formulated a revised timetable, rescheduling the half-yearly exams for classes 6 to 12 to take place from December 13 to 22. This adjustment aims to provide students and schools with sufficient time to recover from the disruptions caused by the cyclonic weather conditions. In the wake of Cyclone ‘Michaung,’ schools in Chennai, Chengelpet, Kancheepuram, and Tiruvallur districts had been closed from December 4 to 9. The government allocated a fund of ₹1.90 crore to address the aftermath, focusing on activities such as cleaning school premises affected by heavy rains and flooding in the aforementioned districts. With schools set to reopen on December 11, the government has scheduled the distribution of textbooks and notebooks on December 12. This initiative is specifically aimed at assisting students who may have lost or damaged their study materials during the adverse weather conditions. A key factor influencing the decision to postpone the exams is the realization that students cannot adequately prepare without their study materials. Consequently, a collective decision was made to reschedule exams uniformly across all districts, maintaining a common question paper throughout Tamil Nadu.
