A resident of Uttar Pradesh’s Fatehpur tested positive for swine flu on Thursday. The man, identified as Rambabu, has been admitted to Kanpur’s Regency hospital. He was suffering from a fever, cold, cough and back pain for about 10 days.
Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Alok Ranjan along with the government, sent a report to the Fatehpur administration and suggested isolating Rambabu's family. Ranjan requested everyone to wear masks and avoid going to crowded places. He added that the situation is under control.
The number of pigs which were found dead in Uttar Pradesh has intensified. The veterinary officer of the municipal corporation sent a sample of the dead pig's excreta to the Bhopal laboratory for examination.
At the initial stage, these pigs were suspected of having African swine fever. To confirm this, the viscera of five dead pigs was sent for examination.
The veterinary officer also constituted a four-member committee to prepare a report and check the samples of suspected pigs.
Girish Chandra, Committee Member Councillor, said several have been dying in nearby areas from 4-5 days. “We worry that the disease will be transmitted to humans too,” added Chandra.
