Kasargod, June 29: As many as 10 people have been diagnosed with H1N1 fever in Kasargod district.

District Health Officer has advised the people across the district to take necessary precautions to prevent the outbreak of flu.

The people who have caught the flu are from Badhiyadka, Kodom Bolour, Madikeri, Chengal, Kumble Gram Panchayats and Kanhanged Town Municipal.

The fever is being spread due to a virus. Cough, joint ache, shivering, body ache, head ache, fatigue are the symptoms of the fever. Some people may also have vomiting and diarrhea.

If one comes in contact with the person who has fever and thereafter does not wash his hands and touch his mouth or nose may get the fever, he said.

The doctors advise the patients with such symptoms to take treatment in their homes and take sufficient rest. The patients should intake sufficient quantity of water.

Some people who have the fever may have respiratory problems. Such patients should meet the doctor immediately. The patients should avoid contact with their family members as the chances of them catching the flu are high.

Whenever the patients feel like coughing, they have to close their mouth with handkerchief or tissue paper. The patients should not spit in public places, said the DHO.

A Screening camp has been organized in Kasargod's General Hospital and Kanhangad District Hospital to identify H1N1 patients.

The medications are available in all primary health centers and government hospitals, said the DHO.

Last year five were diagnosed with H1N1. However, no one has died here due to the fever.

Bengaluru, Jul 27: Former Karnataka chief minister H D Kumaraswamy on Monday took strong exception to the BJP's celebration over completing one year in office and alleged that people are suffering due to anti-people policies of the state government.

In a tweet on Monday, he said that since the last six months pension due to physically challenged, old age and Widow pensions were not paid. He urged the Government Issue emerge order to release pension amounts immediately. It was shameful on the part of the Government to keep the pension amount being kept pending.

This government has no eyes and ears and claiming only challenging years and transparent government, what examples required for them, he questioned.

Bengaluru, Mar 4: With details of the Bengaluru links of the Covid-19-positive patient from Hyderabad emerging, state health authorities on Tuesday got down to tracking any infection trail he may have left behind before heading home.

Schools from southeast Bengaluru asked parents to send students with masks and hand sanitizers or keep them at home if they had fever. Medical shops in Bengaluru reported panic buying of masks and hand sanitizers.

Two persons with no symptoms — the Hyderabad man’s flatmate in city, and a colleague — reported at Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Chest Diseases and put under watch at the isolation ward. Their test results are expected on Wednesday.

The authorities tracked down 71 people who had come in contact with the Hyderabad man and put them under surveillance. The 24-year-old techie had travelled to Dubai for work on February 15 and returned to Bengaluru on February 20. He attended work on February 20 and 21 before taking a bus to Hyderabad. His flat has been sealed for sanitizing.

According to Telangana officials, at least 36 of the 88 people who came in contact with the techie are showing some symptoms of Covid-19.

Contrary to reports, the infected person was not tested at the KIA since guidelines don’t say flyers from Dubai must be screened. WHO guidelines say identification of the infected person should not be revealed. However, WhatsApp groups were flooded with messages on where the infected person lived and details of his flatmate.
