Officials said as many as 18 cases of swine flu have been admitted to SKIMS, Srinagar.
"1,250 people were tested for H1N1 influenza at SKIIMS since September 2019. 18 have been admitted for treatment", Dr Farooq Jan, Medical Superintendent of SKIMS, said.
He said the rising graph of swine flu cases has a direct connection with the drop in temperature.
