Take Measures To Save People From Dengue
Presently, the mosquito menace is going to be out of control. Probably due to massacre done by the coronavirus, one may be forgiven for forgetting about last year’s dengue outbreak which began somewhere around this time. I fear it would resurface this year also. With the pandemic already wreaking havoc on the country, how will our fragile healthcare system handle another deadly disease?
I think it is extremely important that the authorities as well as the general public do whatever is possible within their means to stop the potential spread of dengue fever. That way, the lives of many citizens will be at lesser risk and our hospitals can remain free from additional pressure. I do urge the authorities concerned to take action because prevention is surely better than care.
