All the infected persons are staying in the St. Mary’s College hostel
Norovirus infection has been confirmed in 57 people, including 54 students and three workers, in the hostel of St. Mary’s College, Thrissur.
Health officials suspect that the infection might have spread through food or drinking water distributed in the hostel.
Aasheesh Pittie says birdwatching is not very unlike hunting, except that nothing is killed. “You track… you want to follow the bird… see it,” he says about this activity that he has pursued for nearly fifty years. Pittie, the editor of the ornithological journal Indian Birds, author of many classic reference books about birds and most recently, a collection of bird essays titled The Living Air: Pleasures of Birds and Birdwatching, was speaking at an event organised by the Archives of the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS).
