Dengue patients rise again in Sri Lanka

The number of dengue cases has been significantly rising in October and December, with December recording the highest figure of 8,966.

 

The figure recorded this month exceeds the number of dengue cases reported in the same month last year which stood at 2,122.

 

However, the Public Health Inspector at the Dengue Control Unit Dr. Indika Weerasinghe says that this is a usual observable trend in the month of January.

 

Dr. Weerasinghe added that another rising trend in dengue cases is observed at the end of the month of May.
