SHAH ALAM: The number of daily dengue cases in Selangor has increased at an alarming rate since the end of the Movement Control Order (MCO) as the social sector is now open as usual, the State Legislative Assembly was told on Monday (Dec 5).

Selangor Public Health, Unity and Women and Family Empowerment committee chairman Dr Siti Mariah Mahmud said this trend had been observed since the 46th epidemiological week, in which a total of 31,822 dengue cases were reported at the end of the epidemiology week ended Nov 19.

She said the state government had been allocating RM5mil every year for the eradication of Aedes mosquitoes to curb the spread of dengue fever, including programmes implemented with relevant agencies and departments. "As of Oct 31, the state government has provided 2,000kg of BTI to 10 local authorities in an effort to encourage its usage in hotspots and public areas," she said.
