Dengue Cases Soar in South Dum Dum
Kolkata (August 25,2023) : The number of dengue cases has been rising rapidly in South Dum Dum, a municipality in Kolkata. In the last week, there have been over 100 new cases reported, taking the total number of cases to over 200. The surge in cases has been attributed to the unseasonal rains that have been lashing the city in recent days. The rains have created ideal conditions for the breeding of mosquitoes, the carriers of dengue.
The municipality has stepped up its efforts to control the spread of the disease. It has deployed teams of workers to spray insecticide in affected areas. It has also set up fever clinics to screen and treat patients. However, health experts have warned that the situation is still critical. They have urged people to take preventive measures, such as using mosquito nets and insect repellents. They have also advised people to avoid stagnant water. The municipality has also appealed to residents to cooperate with the authorities in controlling the spread of the disease.
