Ten more people have died of dengue in the last 24 hours. 886 people have been admitted to the hospital.

This information was revealed in the dengue report of the Directorate General of Health Services on Saturday (November 23).

It said that among those admitted to the hospital in the last 24 hours due to dengue, 373 are from Dhaka City Corporation and the rest are from outside Dhaka. During this time, 938 people have been discharged from the hospital.

So far this year, 85,712 people have been admitted to the hospital due to dengue. Of these, 81,456 have been discharged. 448 have died.

Atiqur Rahman, a specialized doctor at DMCH said that dengue is no longer seasonal now, it occurs throughout the year. It increases when it starts raining. In addition to using mosquito repellents to prevent dengue, the city corporation must also conduct campaigns everywhere. At the same time, everyone must be aware of it.

Entomologist Dr Manjur Chowdhury says that not only public awareness will work to control mosquitoes. Appropriate measures must be taken by conducting proper surveys and using skilled manpower.

It is worth noting that in 2023, the highest number of dengue patients in the country's history was 3,21,179, and 1,705 people died.
