‘Let’s not ignore these diseases as we combat coronavirus’
Flagging off a dengue awareness pageant on Friday, Lt. Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan called for stronger vector control measures to prevent mosquito-borne diseases like dengue, malaria and zika. “Let us not ignore these important diseases as we combat coronavirus,” she said at the inaugural event for observing the Anti Dengue Month under the auspices of the Health Department. “Like the requirement of oxygen in those with acute coronavirus infection, the demand for platelets shoots up among many dengue patients,” she said.More Related News
