Swine flu virus transmitted fastest in Delhi


NEW DELHI: Transmission of the deadly H1N1 swine flu virus was the fastest in the national capital, while the infection was most fatal in Maharashtra.
The first-of-its-kind analysis to understand the transmission dynamics of the pandemic influenza that hit India has found that the doubling time (time span in which the number of people infected doubled) was the lowest in Delhi (8.89 days), and highest in Rajasthan (25.67 days).
The doubling time was as low as 9.12 days in Tamil Nadu and 9.24 days in Maharashtra, two of the states worst-hit by the flu.
