Fogging is not happening between 6:30 and 8 in the morning
The Municipal Corporation neither knows the method of fogging nor does it have the appropriate time for it. The most appropriate time for prevention of dengue is between 6:30 and 8 in the morning, but fogging is not being done anywhere at this time. It is said that the speed of the vehicle should not exceed 20 km per hour during fogging, but this is not being done.
Instructions issued to schools after more children test positive
As children are found to be the most infected among dengue patients, the Chief Medical and Health Officer has issued instructions to government and private schools to ask children to come to school wearing full pants and shirts so that they can be protected. He has also appealed to parents to make children wear full clothes because the dengue mosquito bites during the day and cannot fly to a high altitude.
