Dengue is transmitted primarily through the bite of infected Aedes mosquitoes. Rising cases during the dengue season can put additional pressure on hospitals and healthcare facilities, particularly when large numbers of patients develop high fever and other symptoms requiring medical attention.
Health authorities continue to emphasize measures such as eliminating stagnant water, using mosquito repellents, wearing protective clothing and keeping residential areas clean. Early medical consultation is also important when symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, body aches, nausea or unusual bleeding develop.
The reported surge highlights the importance of mosquito control and community participation. Regular removal of standing water from homes, workplaces and public areas can help reduce mosquito breeding sites and limit transmission.
With dengue cases increasing, health officials and communities face the challenge of containing the spread before it places further pressure on the healthcare system.
