Dr Sant blames it on the cold weather that has helped the spread of a new strain of viruses.
“The rise in infections could be due to the new strains of viruses that are predominant in the air. However, one of the main reasons is changing weather which is causing all bacterial and viral infections. This year, the city saw less sunlight during winters which provided the viruses with a congenial condition to grow and cause infections”, he added.
