Two individuals of Bayad taluka (administrative division) in north Gujarat have tested positive for Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF). Four teams have been deployed in Bayad and surrounding areas to check the spread of the virus.
CCHF is a low risk for the average traveller; it is spread by infected ticks from a reservoir usually in animals such as cattle, sheep and goats. Avoidance of tick bites is essential in risk areas.
