Increasing risk of dengue

The good thing is that the mortality rate due to dengue in india is less than 1%. In 2019, two lakh dengue figures were recorded. It is a mosquito-borne disease and the possibility of an increase in its numbers cannot be ruled out in view of the onset of monsoon. The government and the local administration are constantly trying to draw the attention of the people to the problems related to dengue. The other thing is that in 2021, there was also news of poor vector control of dengue cases in some states.

This is done to prevent the spread of diseases by these organisms. The most common 'vector control' strategy is to control mosquitoes in different ways.
