Dengue outbreak continues in Patna due to stagnant flood water

Patna: The outbreak of dengue continues to be alarming in Patna with several cases found positive on Wednesday.
The dengue cases are on the rise in the state capital due to stagnant water that has become a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
Speaking to ANI, Dr. Fawad Ansari here in a government hospital said: “Since morning, I checked 4 patients. The outbreak is more but severe cases are less. Dengue treatment is being provided here round the clock.” The three patients admitted to the hospital were from a family. “We are keeping our surroundings clean. Mosquitoes are breeding on stagnated floodwater in our area,” Mehra, a family relative, said.
“I had medicines for two days. Later when I tested myself then learned that I got mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are breeding in floodwater. The government should take protective measures to prevent mosquitoes from breeding,” a patient said.
Emphasizing on protective measures, Dr. Ansari said that people should not allow mosquitoes to breed, children should wear full sleeves clothes and mosquito nets and repellent are must for every household.
