H1N1 Cases Rise In Delhi: Health Minister Nadda Holds Meet, Reviews Swine Flu Situation

Delhi has recorded nearly 1,700 H1N1 influenza cases this season, prompting Union Health Minister JP Nadda to review the situation and healthcare preparedness. The review covered influenza surveillance, testing, laboratory monitoring, and trends in influenza-like illness and severe respiratory infections. Doctors in Delhi have reported a rise in H1N1 cases over the past few weeks, with mild symptoms common among healthy people, while some older patients and those with underlying conditions have required hospitalisation. The government has reviewed hospital beds, critical care facilities and essential supplies. Health authorities have urged people to follow respiratory and hand hygiene and seek medical advice promptly if symptoms become persistent or severe.
