Delhi Records 1,449 H1N1 Cases as Hospitals Step Up Preparedness

There is a sickness called the flu, and H1N1 is one kind of flu virus that can make people cough, run a fever, and feel very tired.

This year, a city called Delhi has seen many more people getting this flu than before.

So far, 1,449 people in Delhi have gotten the H1N1 flu this year.

That is a lot more than last year, when only 229 people got it during the same time.

Because more people are getting sick, hospitals in Delhi are getting ready to help them.

Some hospitals have made special wards just for flu patients, and they have extra beds, medicines, and machines to help people breathe.

Most people who get the flu get better on their own, but some people can get very sick, especially older people, little kids, and people who already have health problems.

Doctors say if someone has trouble breathing, chest pain, or feels very weak, they should see a doctor right away.

It is important to rest, drink fluids, and listen to what doctors say so everyone can stay safe and healthy.
