As the monsoon intensified this month, the number of people contracting viral and bacterial infections has also seen a spike. Last month, there were only 93 cases of dengue, which has now increased to 165 cases, and there were 52 cases of leptospirosis reported this month.

Swine flu (H1N1) has also seen a sharp rise; in June, there were only 10 cases, but in just 15 days, the cases have risen to 53. However, the numbers are comparatively lower than last year, as by mid-July, Mumbai had reported 263 cases of dengue and 104 cases of leptospirosis.
