    Delhi: Malaria spreading faster than dengue, 40-cases reported so far
  • At least 11 fresh cases of malaria have been reported during the past week in Delhi, pushing the total number of people affected by the vector-borne disease this season to 40, according to a municipal report.

    Only four fresh cases of dengue were reported from June 16-23, taking total dengue cases to 28. This shows malaria is spreading faster than dengue.

    Here's more.

    Of 28 dengue cases, six were reported in January, February (3), March (1), April (2), May (10) and June (6).

    "It's not unusual for malaria-cases to be reported in larger number compared to dengue, as both have different carriers," a doctor said.

    Precautions to be taken

  • "People must take all precautions, like wearing full-sleeved clothes and not allowing breeding of mosquito larvae inside homes. Water coolers should be dried up when not in use as dengue infection-carrying mosquitoes breed there a lot," the doctor said.

  • Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal had last month asked officials to spread awareness and sensitize people to prevent vector-borne diseases.

    He told them that crisp messages, particularly in vernacular languages, must be disseminated, besides involving school students in the awareness generation drive.

    Baijal has ordered local bodies to monitor the work of domestic breeding checkers regularly and fix accountability.
