Via The Times of India: ‘2nd wave of swine flu has arrived’. Excerpt:
The second wave of the pandemic H1N1 influenza has struck and its infection rate is likely to be higher than the first wave, according to the National Institute of Virology (NIV).
The wave is currently strong in Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore, an NIV official said, adding that there’s no need to panic as anti-H1N1 vaccines are available in the market.
“We are in it now. The second wave of the virus arrived in mid-July and will continue until September. We need to be prepared for whatever surprises this nasty new virus delivers,” NIV director A C Mishra told TOI.
