The Health Department issued an alert on Friday after four types of viruses causing dengue fever were found in the district. The department has urged the public to step up dengue preventive measures, including source eradication as Aedes mosquito spreading the disease thrives in stagnant water. Since open vessels, utensils, tiers, flowerpots and terraces can be potential mosquito breeding sources, the authorities have instructed the residents to observe May 23 and all upcoming Sundays as dry days to destroy breeding sources in houses and farms.More Related News
