To effectively respond to rising cases of dengue in the capital, healthcare facilities were directed by the government to set aside beds for dengue cases and maintain stock of requisite medications.
1031 hotline, previously used for COVID, will now be used for Dengue.
Physicians were advised to exercise caution when prescribing medications.
The educational sector was requested to ensure that students wore long-sleeved uniforms.
The educational department has also been instructed to assign a dengue awareness assignment to students, in which they will draft a report on their own household’s dengue prevention preparedness.
