A total of 335 influenza cases were reported until October 23, according to the Health department. KOCHI After grappling with a rise in influenza cases for months, Ernakulam has reported relatively fewer cases in October. According to the health authorities, influenza activity may be declining even as the district braces for monsoon-related diseases such as dengue and leptospirosis. A health official said the dip in influenza cases was expected. “Influenza is a seasonal outbreak, and the disease is in the declining phase now. But with intermittent rains, we are expecting an increase in dengue cases. We have to intensify precautionary measures against dengue and other monsoon-related communicable diseases.
