Two die of swine flu in Uttar Pradesh
An ex-Army personnel and the wife of a former serviceman died at the city's Command Hospital.
The deaths prompted Principal Secretary, Health, Arvind Kumar to convene an emergency meeting with the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) and doctors of the city's major hospitals to tackle the situation, reports said.
"There is no need for panic, these were isolated incidents. All hospitals have been asked to reserve beds for these cases," city's Chief Medical Officer, SNS Yadav told NDTV.
Three government hospitals have been designated to collect samples. Free testing will be provided at King Georges Medical University and SGPGI.
"Health department teams have visited the localities to which the patients belonged, to spread awareness about precautions that should be taken," Dr Yadav said.
