Delhi has recorded a six-fold increase in H1N1 (swine flu) cases, with health authorities reporting 1,349 infections alongside 1,379 dengue cases so far this year.
Medical experts warn that the current flu season is becoming increasingly severe, leading to a 20-30% rise in hospital admissions for respiratory illnesses and viral fevers.
Doctors attribute the spike to monsoon-related environmental factors and public complacency regarding flu vaccinations, urging residents to monitor for warning signs and seek early medical intervention.
