Health department's failure on swine flu: No government testing facility, officials unwilling to reveal figures

Bhaskar News | Swine flu cases are increasing in Ludhiana, but the health department does not have data to inform the public about it. Despite the increase in cases in August, the department only issued an advisory and conducted a awareness program. Ten days of September have passed, but the department is not even ready to say how many new cases have come up in the district so far. When Civil Surgeon Dr. Ramandeep Kaur was asked for data, she said that she would get the information from the state.
