Swine flu active in Amritsar in June, death of oneSwine flu active in Amritsar in June, death of one
Swine flu virus has knocked the knee in Amritsar in Punjab in June itself. Due to swine flu, 58-year-old elderly has died, while two patients report has been positive.
JNN, Amritsar. Swine flu virus is usually active in the cold of November and December, but this time it has only woke up in June. Swine flu took the lives of 58-year-old elderly people on Saturday, while two women have been caught in their grip.

The deceased Rakesh Kumar was from Amritsar's sky avenue. Although the Health Department believes that Rakesh has been killed by influenza-A virus, H1N1 virus has not been found. However, influenza-A virus in medical language is the second name for swine flu.

Rakesh Kumar was suffering from suspected fever for the past fifteen days. The family members had admitted him to Shri Guru Ramdas Hospital, Willa. On Sunday, he was brought to Medicare Hospital located at Ratan Singh Chowk. According to Dr Ravneet Grover, the hospital's director, Rakesh had trouble breathing with high fever. Due to the fear of swine flu, its samples were examined. The swine flu was confirmed in the inquiry report. After this the matter was reported to the Health Department.

The Health Department also sent the patient's samples at their level and sent it to the Swine Flu Testing Lab located at Government Medical College. Meanwhile, on Saturday morning, Rakesh Kumar died. Rakesh's body has been handed over to the relatives by keeping him in a preoccupation kit. Rakesh was kept in the isolation room made in the ICU ward. After his death, the staff was treated as a precautionary measure of Tamiflu.

According to Dr. Grover, the swine flu virus is generally not active in the summer. This is the first case of his career when a patient died due to swine flu during the summer. Rakesh also examined it with a prestigious private laboratory. Here also the swine flu was confirmed. Apart from this, Hardeep Kaur and Charanjit Kaur are also suffering from Swine Flu and they are under treatment in their own hospital.

On the other hand, the district's epidemologist Dr Madan Mohan says that the patient has died from Influenza-A virus. It was normal fever. This has been confirmed in Sample's report in the official lab.
