Reportedly, Kumar further said a disaster ward has been arranged specially for swine flu cases, comprising 20 beds and 10 ventilators reserved for swine flu patients.

However, pharmacology department doctors are taking care of swine flu patients in Gandhi Hospital. In the wake of the sudden rise in swine flu cases in the city, doctors have advised locals to carry face masks and maintain hygiene. Individuals have also been advised to maintain some distance while in proximity to patients.

Swine flu is an infection caused by one of the several Swine Influenza Viruses (SIV), with the H1N1 strain being the most common across the country, particularly in Telangana. The H1N1 virus spreads when an individual touched an infected or breathes droplets of coughs and sneezes that are in the air. The symptoms are the same as the seasonal flu, also known as the viral fever. This includes a cough, sore throat, and body ache.

Since August this year, out of 480 swine flu cases, 215 are from Hyderabad, 80 from the city fringes of Medchal and 82 from Ranga Reddy.
