Prevent dengue on time
According to a recent study of the DGHS, dengue patients admitted up to March 16, 2020 are four times higher than that of 2019, even though the rainy season won't start for another two months at least. Last year, the country witnessed the worst ever dengue situation. We are currently fighting against coronavirus, and it will be horrific if we also have to battle a dengue epidemic. We have already dealt with dengue before and if proper steps are taken, we can minimise the damage this year. People's involvement in cleaning water bodies and destroying larvae are important to control the spread of dengue. Awareness programmes should also be taken in all the zones under the jurisdiction of local government bodies.
