           South Korea’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that Nipah virus infection could be classified as a first-grade nationally notifiable disease as early as July. If so, it would be the first such designation since COVID-19 in 2020.

Early symptoms include high fever, headache, and muscle pain, followed by neurological symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, seizures, and encephalitis. In severe cases, patients can fall into a coma within 24 to 48 hours. The mortality rate can reach up to 75%. There is currently no approved vaccine or treatment, and therapy is limited to symptom management.</p>
