Combatting coronavirus and dengue

I am hopeful that with all the preparations for mass testing underway, we will now be able to get the actual picture of the situation of coronavirus in our country. However, amidst this crisis, there is another fear that's lurking—dengue. We have seen last year the horrific situation suffered by so many due to the spread of aedes mosquitos. Therefore, we must all be extra careful this time not to repeat the mistakes we made earlier. I know these are difficult times, but we must all act right and responsibly for our collective wellbeing. I just hope that we will not be stubborn and wait for the last minute to deal with the situation. Right timing can make all the difference between life and death.
