Prepare yourself for dengue: Health Dept

The Health Department on Saturday asked the citizens to take preventive measures against a possible outbreak of the dengue virus in the province.
A spokesman for the department said that as the monsoon season continues, it may lead to breeding of the dengue virus and people must be extremely cautious and take precautionary steps to avoid dengue. He added that people who sleep in open spaces are especially vulnerable to the disease.
He advised people to regularly use repellents to protect themselves against dengue.
He added that last year the dengue outbreak was unexpected and the government found it difficult to handle the situation. However, this year, the government has taken special steps to cope with the threat. He appealed to the public to follow tips of the Health Department.
