Delhi has recorded 1,344 H1N1 cases this monsoon season, nearly six times the 229 cases in the same period last year, according to reports. Nagpur reported its first confirmed H1N1 death of 2026. Doctors warn that H1N1 symptoms, including fever, cough and body ache, can overlap with dengue and COVID-19, causing delays in treatment. People with heart disease, diabetes, asthma or chronic lung conditions face higher risks of severe complications such as pneumonia and respiratory failure. Health experts urge high-risk groups to get the annual influenza vaccine and seek early medical evaluation.
