Answer : 1. "Nipah"
Explanation :
To support Kerala's efforts to combat the Nipah virus outbreak, the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has allowed the state to conduct TrueNat testing in some hospitals. TrueNat tests use portable, smart chip-based, battery-powered RT-PCR kits. Only hospitals equipped with Level 2 biosafety facilities, which have strict protocols in place to prevent specimen contamination, will be allowed to use TrueNat testing facilities.
