Here are a few ways to stay safe from dengue. While most people know these precautions, a timely reminder never hurts anyone.
The number of dengue cases in the country has crossed 600 in a single day for the first time this year, as experts urge authorities to take urgent measures to control the spread of the disease
Health experts had termed August the deadliest month in terms of dengue cases and fatalities. But the numbers have climbed even higher this month.
The mosquito-borne disease has so far claimed at least 790 lives this year
With the onset of monsoon, torrential rains, and extreme hot weather, it looks like different viral diseases are making their rounds.

Among the deaths, 10 were in Dhaka
Can we respond to a public health crisis with the same urgency as the crisis over our electoral future?
At least 820 people were hospitalised with dengue and two others died from the disease in the 24 hours preceding 8:00am yesterday, said the health directorate.
