Description
Panic has gripped the backward district of Mahbubnagar after a spurt in swine flu cases since the New Year Day. What's worrying people more is the returning stream of migrant labourers from big cities like Hyderabad to their native villages in the district. As many as 14 positive cases of swine flu and two deaths have been reported in the last 21 days in the district. Till last week, only Mahbubnagar town had reported the presence of the deadly virus, but in the last five days reports are coming in increasingly from small towns and villages. A man died due to swine flu in Shadnagar town recently. "It is a new trend this flu season that positive cases are being reported from interior villages too," said Dr Samuel, Mahbubnagar district hospital uperintendent. In fact, Mahbubnagar has reported the largest number of swine flu positive cases after Hyderabad in Telangana. On Wednesday, about 200 people with symptoms of common cold reported as outpatients at government hospitals in Mahbubnagar, Shadnagar, Amangal, Narayanpet and Kalwakurthy. Doctors have collected their samples for swine flu tests.
