How the exam will ask it
ಪ್ರಿಲಿಮ್ಸ್
- Ebola is a viral haemorrhagic fever transmitted through direct contact with the body fluids of infected people or animals.
- Bundibugyo is a distinct strain of the Ebola virus, identified here through molecular tests.
- Ebola is a zoonotic disease: it can pass from animals to humans and then spread between people.
ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-II (Health) and GS-III (Science): the issue is the cross-border spread of a high-fatality zoonotic virus. The relevant policy tools are the WHO's International Health Regulations, surveillance and molecular diagnostics, and contact tracing. The implications are for regional health security and for the mental-health burden on affected families. The way forward is stronger surveillance, rapid diagnostics, vaccine and treatment access, and community-based psychosocial support.

ಸಂವಿಧಾನದ ವಿಧಿ 22ರ ಅಡಿ ತಡೆಗಟ್ಟುವ ಬಂಧನದ ಕುರಿತು ಈ ಕೆಳಗಿನ ಹೇಳಿಕೆಗಳನ್ನು ಪರಿಗಣಿಸಿ:
- ವಿಧಿ 22 ಬಂಧಿತ ಅಥವಾ ಕಸ್ಟಡಿಯಲ್ಲಿರುವ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಗಳಿಗೆ ರಕ್ಷಣೆ ನೀಡುತ್ತದೆ.
- ತಡೆಗಟ್ಟುವ ಬಂಧನ ಕಾನೂನಿನ ಅಡಿ ಮೂರು ತಿಂಗಳ ನಂತರದ ಬಂಧನಕ್ಕೆ, ಆ ಉಪಬಂಧ ಅನುಮತಿಸಿದಂತೆ ಸಂಸತ್ತು ಬೇರೆ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥೆ ಮಾಡದ ಹೊರತು, ಸಲಹಾ ಮಂಡಳಿಯ ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯ ಅಗತ್ಯ. ಮೇಲಿನ ಯಾವ ಹೇಳಿಕೆ/ಹೇಳಿಕೆಗಳು ಸರಿ?
- 1 ಮಾತ್ರ
- 2 ಮಾತ್ರ
- 1 ಮತ್ತು 2 ಎರಡೂ
- 1 ಅಥವಾ 2 ಯಾವುದೂ ಅಲ್ಲ
ಉತ್ತರ ನೋಡಿ
ಉತ್ತರ: C — ಸರಿಯಾದ ಉತ್ತರ 1 ಮತ್ತು 2 ಎರಡೂ. ವಿಧಿ 22 ಬಂಧಿತರನ್ನು ರಕ್ಷಿಸುತ್ತದೆ ಮತ್ತು ಮೂರು ತಿಂಗಳ ನಂತರದ ಬಂಧನಕ್ಕೆ ಸಾಮಾನ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಸಲಹಾ ಮಂಡಳಿಯ ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯ ಬೇಕು.
