Eleven confirmed cases of dengue were reported from across the province during the current season and dengue larva was also detected in some towns of the city, Dengue Control Programme’s Dr Jafar said on Saturday.
He said that dengue larva had been found in Ravi Town, Gulberg Town, Data Ganj Baksh Town and many other areas across the city. Jafar said that dengue larva had started surfacing in many areas but teams of the health department were disposing it off through ‘mechanical methods’.
He said meetings of dengue-expert advisory groups headed Chairman Prof Faisal Masood were being held regularly to review the situation and to make suggestions.
He said that arrangements for diagnosing and treating dengue patients had been completed and high dependency units in public hospitals were fully functional.
