Two persons, including a newborn, have died of swine flu here during the last 24 hours, a health official said.

A girl born last night died at around 4 AM today at the government-run Kamla Raja hospital (KRH).

Confirming that the newborn baby was suffering from swine flu, district's Chief Medical and Health Officer (CMHO) Dr Anup Kamthan said that the girl's mother Suman was shifted to an isolation ward of KRH.

A team of medical staffers has been sent to New Sanjay Nagar locality, where Suman lives, to find out if some more people there are infected with the H1N1 virus, he said.
 

Besides, Rajasthan's Dholpur district resident Archana, who was suffering from swine flu, was admitted to KRH where she died yesterday, he said.

Another woman with symptoms of swine flu was admitted to Birla hospital from where she has been rushed to Delhi for treatment, Kamthan added.
