The Ministry of Health and Wellness, with the assistance of other stakeholders, is actively engaged in carrying out fogging, larviciding and other vector control activities in dengue hotspot regions.

Nonetheless, to accelerate the curbing of cases, it is equally imperative for the population to clean their surroundings and eliminate potential mosquito breeding places.

The Director General Health Services, Dr Bhooshun Ori, as well as officers from the Ministry of Health and Wellness, the Ministry of Environment, Solid Waste Management and Climate Change, the Special Mobile Force and the Special Support Unit were also present. The Health Minister, moreover, indicated that rapid and PCR tests are done in health centres and hospitals to detect dengue cases. Currently, some 84 people are hospitalised and others are receiving home visits from doctors of the Domiciliary Monitoring Unit, he pointed out.

For his part, Dr Ori shared that a master plan for vector control in hotspot areas with more than 25 cases is in the pipeline.
