Till Thursday, 15 confirmed cases of swine flu were reported in Delhi.

But what has got Delhi's health department
worried is that of the four human-to-human transmission cases reported in the country, three are from Delhi. "So far we have had one human-to-human transmission case and the H1N1 infection
was limited to people coming from abroad. But with two new human-to-human cases reported in the city, we have intensified our screening process.

"These two cases have become a cause of worry as they have come in contact with a lot of people. Our teams are tracking their relatives with whom they have come in contact. We've also given prophylactic treatment to 10 of their family members," said Delhi's health minister Kiran Walia.
