Two women died here on Friday due to swine flu, taking the total number of deaths due to the virus to six this year. The women, both over 50-year-old, died at Ram Manohar Lohia and Safdarjung Hospital with the city reporting 26 new cases on Friday. The total number of cases this year stands at 206.
A spate of swine flu deaths in Delhi and the NCR over the last two weeks has led to panic among people. “The Delhi government has 22 State-run and private hospitals which have been designated for treatment for the viral infection and, if required, more hospitals will be directed to make arrangements for isolation and treatment of such patients,” said a senior health official.
