Along with a host of viral and vector-borne ailments, the State is also under the grip of H1N1 influenza.
Last year, when the second wave of COVID-19 had overwhelmed the State’s infrastructure, only 13 H1N1 cases were reported. However, this year cases have shot up to 409 in the first eight months itself.
According to data from the State Health and Family Welfare Department, a total of 458 H1N1 cases and three deaths were reported in 2020 when the pandemic began.
