Avoiding dengue by taking preventative steps
Use insect repellents and wear long sleeves to prevent mosquito bites.
When you’re outside after nightfall, stay away from places with standing water, unmowed grass, and trash heaps.
Instead of self-medicating, consult a doctor.
Contact local field monitoring teams to obtain dengue spray.
Signs of dengue fever
In addition to directing medical facilities to set aside specific counters for dengue-related patients, the health authorities have recommended the public to adopt the appropriate safeguards.

The district government is using a number of strategies to try and manage the larvae.

If dengue fever is not treated, it can cause a platelet shortage and even turn fatal.

When symptoms appear, it’s critical to get medical help right once, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
