Telangana has recorded a total of 5,263 cases of dengue this season, marking a decrease from the 7,988 cases reported during the same period last year, according to Health Minister T. Harish Rao.
The data was revealed during a comprehensive review meeting conducted by the Minister with Health Department officials. Recent data from the Health Department indicates a slight increase in fever cases over the past week and ten days, possibly attributed to fluctuating weather patterns, he said.
While there is no immediate cause for alarm regarding malaria and dengue, the government is urging citizens to remain vigilant. Those experiencing fever symptoms are encouraged to seek medical attention at the nearest government hospital and undergo blood tests as advised by healthcare professionals. Adequate medications for seasonal diseases like dengue and malaria are readily available in all hospitals.
