The first swine flu death of the year was recorded in the capital on Wednesday as a 42-year-old woman from Uttam Nagar in west Delhi died of H1N1 virus at a private hospital.
Sources said the health department is closely monitoring the situation and also started an orientation programme for the staff of all the 22 designated hospitals including five private hospitals.
“As per our records, Delhi has recorded two deaths due to swine flu this year till now,” said additional director in-charge of public health Charan Singh.
