Delhi Reports Nearly Six-Fold Rise in H1N1 Cases Amid Seasonal Flu Surge
Delhi has seen a nearly six-fold increase in H1N1 influenza cases this season, with 1,344 to 1,349 infections reported compared to around 229 last year. Doctors warn that while many healthy individuals recover with mild symptoms like fever, cough, and body aches, vulnerable groups—including older adults, pregnant women, young children, and those with chronic conditions—face higher risks of severe illness. Health experts emphasize vaccination, timely medical care, and preventive measures to reduce complications amid rising flu activity in the National Capital Region.
