It is pertinent to note here that in Punjab, 74% of the cases have been reported in the city of Lahore. Director General Health Dr. Muhammad Safdar has warned that the situation can take a turn for worse in the upcoming days. He said that:
"The last outbreak was seen in 2019, largely in north Punjab and KP. 2020 was silent and we have this surge again. Typically, in endemic countries, you expect large dengue outbreaks with a 3-year cycle. Hence, 2022 is likely to be severe,"
The best possible prevention in these drastic times is to avoid the accumulation of water inside or outside the house. The numbers of infected people have witnessed a sharp rise in the past few months and this is mainly because of the monsoon season in the country.
Even though the history of dengue infection goes back to 1994, the situation this time is quite worrisome. That is why it is advised that the general public should keep themselves align with the latest updates and should take notes on the best possible preventive strategies. This is how we can fight off this mosquito-borne disease together.
