In order to prevent the spread of the Nipah virus in Kyrgyzstan, additional sanitary and quarantine control measures have been implemented. This was reported by the Ministry of Health of the country.

At Manas Airport, enhanced preventive measures are currently being carried out, especially concerning passengers arriving from India, where cases of the disease have been registered.

The Deputy Minister of Health, Ryspek Sydygaliev, personally checked the sanitary control on the flight from Delhi to Bishkek and emphasized the importance of promptly identifying symptoms of the infection.
On February 1, 158 passengers from India arrived in Kyrgyzstan. Body temperature was measured for all arrivals, and no elevated readings or potentially dangerous cases were found.
The ministry noted that if anyone registers a temperature above 37.5 degrees Celsius, that passenger will be immediately isolated and provided with necessary medical assistance. Currently, the epidemiological situation in the country remains stable.

The Ministry of Health also announced the continuation of enhanced preventive measures.
