New Delhi, Dec 7 (IANS) Five more H1N1 patients died in Delhi, taking the swine flu toll in the country to 632, health authorities said Monday.
Though Delhi government authorities added only four deaths to their cumulative death figure (34), they said another person also died at Guru Teg Bahadur hospital late Sunday night. The victim was from Uttar Pradesh.

“The patient was not a resident of Delhi and we are not including the death in the cumulative total of Delhi,” Anjana Prakash, the state’s assistant nodal officer for swine flu, told IANS.

Of the four deaths, a nine-month infant died in St Stephens Hospital and a 52-year-old man breathed his last at the Mata Chanan Devi Hospital, she said.

“Two suspected swine deaths were reported from the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital last week and were confirmed Monday. So, the four swine flu deaths takes the total to 34,” she added.

Delhi reported 198 fresh swine flu cases Monday. “The cumulative swine flu cases in Delhi now stands at 6,171,” she said.

Though, there were no reports of fresh deaths from any other state, the health ministry said that the country reported 315 new cases of Influenza A (H1N1). Apart from Delhi, Haryana reported 39 new cases, followed by Uttar Pradesh (30 new cases).

“All the 315 cases reported during the day, four are having history of foreign travel and rest are indigenous cases,” a health ministry official said.

Over 20,000 people have been affected by the disease so far in India but majority of them have been cured.
