Swine flu cases may increase in Hyderabad

Hyderabad: With over 20 lakh people travelling from the city to their villages, the health officers fear that the number of swine flu cases may rise within a week.

Due to this reason, the health officials are asking those who come back from their villages recently and are showing symptoms of swine flu, must immediately consult a doctor and also opt for self-isolation.

A senior health officer said: “The virus is now getting transmitted from humans to humans. Therefore, we are appealing to those who are showing signs of swine flu to isolate themselves.”

Eight new suspected patients of swine flu were tested positive on Sunday and are undergoing treatment in private hospitals.
