The Health Department will organise fever camps at 90 places across Cuddalore district daily from October 1 to combat dengue. The camps will be held in areas where dengue cases have been reported.
According to Collector A. Arun Thamburaj, though there is no risk of the spread of dengue, the district administration has intensified prevention measures. The measures are primarily aimed at preventing the breeding of aedes aegypti mosquito, the primary vector of the virus causing dengue.
As many as 700 workers have been deployed across Cuddalore district as part of dengue prevention measures. They have been deployed for carrying out disinfection, fogging and water chlorination activities.
