In the 24 hours leading up to
Tuesday morning, two more people died from the mosquito-borne disease dengue.
During the same time period,
another 182 persons were admitted to hospitals with dengue fever.
143 of the new patients were
admitted to government and private hospitals in Dhaka, with the remaining 39
being admitted to facilities outside the Dhaka division.
Dengue fever has been diagnosed
in 20,336 people this year, according to the Directorate General of Health
Services (DGHS), with 80 people dying from the mosquito-borne sickness.
As of Tuesday morning, 916
individuals with dengue fever were being treated in various hospitals around
the country, according to the DGHS.
742 of them are being treated at
various facilities in the capital, while the rest 174 are being treated outside
of Dhaka.
According to the DGHS, 19,522
dengue patients have been released from hospitals after recovering.
The number of infections is on
the rise this year, despite increased funding for mosquito-borne disease
control. The city of Dhaka has resorted to fogging and spraying larvicide.
Although, in terms of mosquito control, these methods have not proven to be
efficient.
