Delhi has recorded over 1,300 H1N1 influenza cases so far this year, marking a nearly sixfold increase compared to the 229 cases reported during the same period in 2025.
Two deaths from a single family were reported last week at a private hospital in the capital within a three-day span.
Health Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh stated that the government has arranged sufficient medicines, beds, and ventilators to manage the surge, which experts attribute to seasonal monsoon changes.
