The mother of the two girls who died in the space of four days due to a yet unknown disease has fallen sick in isolation at Rajshahi Medical College Hospital. Manzur, a teacher of Rajshahi Cadet College, his wife Poly Khatun, and daughters Muftaul Mashia and Muntaha Marisha lived in the college quarters. Nipah virus generally spreads through raw date juice that contains the excrement or saliva of infected bats. Anyone who drinks infected juice will get the disease. After the elder sister’s death, the doctors did not let the parents go and kept them in isolation.
