No standard treatment guidelines for nipah virus, only complications are treated so far symptomatically.
Better to have prevention, avoid going to areas where there has been known outbreaks. Rest no need to panic.

The treatment of Nipah virus is limited to intensive supportive management at present. Prevention by the following practices is recommended to be followed:
Prevention:
- Do not eat fruits that may have been bitten by bats.
