The state Health Department has geared up to combat H1N1 Influenza (swine flu) in the state after a positive case was reported from Kutch district in Gujarat. Health department officials said one patient was admitted to the Ahmedabad Civil Hospital from Kutch, who is now out of danger.

I'm not sure where the reporter got these numbers.
The actual figures (from Consolidated Status updates) are:

State: Cases in 2010/ Cases since May 1st/ Fatalities since May 1st
Gujarat: 600/ 5 / 0
Kerala: 385/ 346 / 28
