During the week from February 13th to 19th, 1,284 samples were taken of which 184 (14.3%) were found positive for H1N1 (Total 29,452). This represents a significant reduction in total positives and a slight reduction in % positive from last week. Maharashtra (102) alone accounts for 55% of all new cases. 30 new fatalities were recorded bringing the total to 1,361. Maharashtra?s death rate dropped. Gujarat recorded only 27 new cases, but had 12 confirmed fatalities. Graphs of trends in fatalities and confirmed cases for selected states are at the bottom of this report. The overall trend of infection is generally downward.

The India database now contains information on 1,441 confirmed and suspected cases. This week, 19 individuals without any identifying information other than State were added to the Consolidated status fatality list. Given the lack of detail, it is inevitable that double counts could exist in the above numbers where a media report may show a death in one State, that was recorded centrally as a death of a resident of a different State.
