According to Sikandar, 1,436 confirmed cases of the virus have been registered in Punjab so far this year. Meanwhile, at least 1,180 confirmed  cases have been reported in Lahore.

 

He also suggested that precautionary measures against dengue are particularly vital in the monsoon season. “During the monsoon season, citizens should take more responsibility to prevent dengue.” Furthermore, he expressed his thoughts on stagnant water, saying that rainwater should not be accumulated in residential areas.

On Tuesday, health department staff checked 446,431 indoor and 104,947 outdoor locations across Punjab, according to the secretary. Sikandar also said. “The public is urged to take precautions against this virus and the coronavirus.”

He urged all religious experts in Punjab to raise public awareness about dengue prevention among those who visit mosques.

Furthermore Sikander added: “Demonstrate that you are a responsible citizen by keeping your surroundings tidy. Allowing water to gather inside and outside the house is not a good idea. By maintaining cleanliness, dengue mosquito breeding can be avoided.”
