Dengue Cases in Pakistan's Punjab See Surge
Lahore, the provincial capital, registered 15 fresh cases, pushing its overall total to 708, according to Provincial Health Minister Khawaja Imran Nazir.
Expressing concern over a potentially severe rise in cases this year, the minister urged the public to adopt preventive actions such as in-home fumigation and the application of protective lotions.
He added that dengue monitoring efforts have been significantly strengthened, with teams eliminating mosquito larvae on an urgent basis.
Recently, the Pakistan Meteorological Department issued a high-risk dengue advisory covering the period from Sept. 20 to early December, attributing the increased danger to favorable weather patterns and extensive flooding, both of which heighten the likelihood of rapid disease spread.
The department further highlighted that dengue has evolved into a persistent public health concern, often escalating after the monsoon season.
