Kochi: Kerala High Court on Friday directed the state government to issue the required guidelines for the Sabarimala pilgrimage in view of the Nipah outbreak in Kozhikode district.

The court asked the Travancore Devaswom Board commissioner to hold discussions with the health secretary and take a decision on the matter.

The Hindu shrine in Kerala’s Pathanamthitta opens for five days every Malayalam month for puja. This month, it will open for pilgrims on Sunday.

Meanwhile, the state government informed the court that restrictions have been imposed in the northern Kozhikode district.

A fresh case of Nipah virus was confirmed in Kozhikode on Friday, taking the total number of people infected to six.

The state has so far reported two fatalities.
