"In view of the prevailing cold weather conditions and fog, people, especially elderly and those suffering from disease or having low immunity and children, have been advised not to leave for early morning walks as the virus causing swine flu is very active during that time," he said.

Parents had also been advised not to send their children to schools in case they were suffering from any symptoms of swine flu or had cough and cold.
