Don’t take the dengue threat lightly
According to a senior doctor, the number of dengue patients this year is much higher than the previous year. Though it is a rather alarming statement, it is not being addressed properly. We are struggling to cope with the ongoing coronavirus pandemic as it is, and if there is a dengue outbreak now, it will make things much worse for our already struggling healthcare system.
I urge all my fellow citizens to remain vigilant. There are various ways we can take protective measures at home to save ourselves from mosquito bites. For example, we should always make use of mosquito nets before going to bed.
Also, the city corporations need to carry out their duties responsibly to ensure that the spread of Aedes is curbed at all costs. Failure to take timely action could prove disastrous.
