As dengue cases increase in various regions of the country, here are some precautions you should take to reduce your risk of infection.
Dengue Surge in Delhi: There has been a significant increase in dengue cases in India. Last week, 283 new cases were reported in the nation’s capital, bringing this year’s total to over 1,000. According to MCD, the weekly tally has increased over the past few weeks. According to the data, Delhi reported only 56 and 24 cases in the first two weeks, but the number has increased since then.
As a result of the recent monsoon floods that inundated sections of Delhi, health officials are dealing with a significant increase in dengue cases. As floodwaters recede and stagnant pools of water persist in a number of areas, concerns about disease-carrying mosquito breeding grounds have increased.
The health department of Delhi sequenced the dengue infection’s genome and discovered that 19 out of 20 cases were of type 2 dengue, which is considered the most dangerous. The onset of dengue symptoms typically occurs four to six days after infection.

Avoid travelling to areas where dengue fever is a concern.
As they emit natural gases, mosquito-repelling plants should be cultivated in the residence. Some plants that repel mosquitoes are neem, tulsi, eucalyptus, lemongrass, etc.
Cover your body with completely enveloping clothing, such as long sleeves and trousers. This will reduce the surface area of your exposed skin and reduce your vulnerability to the mosquito invasion.
