Delhi reports 211 cases of dengue, 87 cases in September

On Sunday, as a part of the Delhi government’s ‘10 Hafte, 10 Baje, 10 Minute’ dengue prevention campaign, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal requested the children in the city to take part in the ongoing campaign.

“Dear kids, get ready to fight dengue. Let’s do a 10-minute homework every Sunday to protect Delhi from Dengue. For this, we need to check our homes and surrounding areas for any signs of stagnant water. If we do find water, let’s drain it, replace it regularly or cover it with a small layer of oil. Let’s also call up our friends and ask them to take part in this campaign,” said Kejriwal in an address

Last week, Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain had said that dengue cases are in control so far, and the government is alert and prepared to deal with any situation arising out of the vector-borne disease.
