A woman in Bangladesh has died. She was 40 years old. The Nipah virus made her sick. Health workers are trying to stop the virus.
She had a fever and felt very ill. Her brain had problems. She went to the hospital. Tests showed she had the Nipah virus. This was confirmed on January 29th.
Doctors think she drank sap from a date palm tree. Bats carry this virus. People can get it from bats. The virus can make people very sick.
Health workers are checking people she met. 35 people were close to her. They are being tested. No one else is sick now. This is good news.
The World Health Organization (WHO) knows about this. They think the risk is low for everyone. They do not think it will spread to other countries.
