| Lucknow: The swine flu count in Uttar Pradesh crossed the 100 mark, following detection of 11 fresh cases here, an official said on Monday.
The total number of swine flu cases now stand at 102.
According to an official spokesman, "A large number of cases being detected now are from families where one of the members was already affected by the virus."
He declared that "all the patients are well under control".
However, he said "there is little we could do to prevent the spread of the virus, mainly because of the continued humidity in the atmosphere".
"The weather conditions will change in the coming weeks to bring respite not only from the heat and humidity, but also from the H1N1 virus," he said on a note of optimism. (IANS) |
