" AHMEDABAD: Swine flu has so far claimed 18 deaths in Gujarat. As many as 85 positive cases have been registered in the state. The casualties are nearly 21 per cent of the total swine flu positive cases reported in the state. This may well be the highest percentage in the country, as the national average is less then 10 per cent. Health ministerJaynarayan Vyas in a statement said that with the onset of monsoon, swine flu cases have also gone up in the country.
In last one week, 942 new cases were identified as suffering from swine flu across the country and 83 of them died. Vyas said that in Gujarat 21 new cases have been registered and seven have so far died. He said that delay in starting treatment and low priority to precautions were the major reasons behind the high percentage of deaths in the state. "
