One more person died of dengue in the last 24 hours. At this time, 25 people were admitted to the hospital.

This information was informed in the Dengue report of the Department of Health on Sunday (April 18).

It is said that in the last 24 hours, 7 people in Dhaka city and 8 people outside Dhaka were admitted to the hospital due to dengue.

So far this year, 3 thousand 56 people have been admitted to hospital due to dengue. Two thousand 877 people have recovered and left the hospital. 38 people died.

Dr. expert doctor. Atiqur Rahman said, dengue is not seasonal now, it happens all year round. It is increasing when it starts raining. In addition to the use of anti-mosquito drugs for the prevention of dengue, the City Corporation should conduct campaigns everywhere. At the same time, everyone should be aware.

Although the two city corporations of Dhaka have taken various initiatives throughout the year, entomologist Dr. Manjur Chowdhury says that only prison and fines and public awareness will not work in the fight against mosquito breeding. Proper measures should be taken by proper manpower by carrying out survey properly.

It should be noted that in the history of the country in 2023, 3 lakh 21 thousand 179 patients were affected by dengue and 1 thousand 705 people died.
