Iloilo Rep. Janette Garin. INQUIRER file photo / LYN RILLON There is no need for people to panic over the Nipah virus, which has caused an outbreak in India and killed two people so far. This was what House Deputy Majority Leader Rep. Janette Garin, a former health secretary, said on Monday, September 25, 2023, while urging the government to keep the public updated about the virus and its symptoms without causing alarm. 'There should be actual and reliable information given to the public without being alarmist,' said Garin, who was a health undersecretary when the country reported its first Nipah virus case in 2014.
