Detected influenza cases in October, two active cases, no death: Kerala health minister
Haryana and Karnataka. The first death was in the Hassan district of Karnataka where an 82-year-old man died due to influenza.
In Haryana, a 56-year-old lung cancer patient died after getting infected by the virus in January. The health experts have called for increased monitoring and precautions and also affirmed that there is no need to panic.
The advice from the doctors came as some concerns were raised around the possibility of H3N2 becoming another Covid. "Admission to hospital has not been very common and only about 5 percent of cases have been reported to be hospitalized," said Tarun Sahani, senior consultant, internal medicine, Apollo Hospitals.
Sahani advised taking precautions similar to those taken during the spread of Covid-19. "... if most of the infected people recover albeit slowly, it should be fine," virologist Upasana Ray, an alumni member of the Indian National Young Academy of Science (INYAS) and member of Global Young Academy (GYA), told PTI.
