Since February 2025, Delhi-NCR has been witnessing a sharp rise in viral infections, leaving hospitals overwhelmed with cases of fever, cough, body aches, and prolonged fatigue. Many patients are experiencing symptoms lasting up to 10 days—longer than the usual 5-7 days.
While the seasonal transition typically brings a wave of flu, the intensity and scale of infections this year have raised serious concerns. A new survey by LocalCircles has revealed a troubling statistic: 54% of households in NCR currently have one or more individuals experiencing flu or Covid-like symptoms.
