🦠 NIPAH VIRUS ADVISORY – FSM

The Department of Health & Social Affairs informs the public that recent Nipah virus cases reported in India are localized and contained, and the risk to the Federated States of Micronesia remains very low.

There are no confirmed cases in FSM and no evidence of the virus circulating in the Pacific region.

Nipah virus does not spread easily through casual contact. Transmission typically requires close contact with infected bodily fluids or contaminated food.

✅ Practice good hand hygiene
✅ Avoid contact with bats and sick animals
✅ Wash fruits thoroughly before eating
✅ Stay informed through official sources

We continue to monitor the situation closely and will provide updates if needed.
