With many states seeing surge in dengue cases, here’s how to stay safe

States across India have witnessed a surge in dengue cases after heavy rains and waterlogging in many regions. The case count in Delhi has already reached a five-year high. Dengue is highly contagious and spreads from one person to another through mosquito bites. To avoid being bitten by mosquitoes, use insect repellents and mosquito nets, wear long-sleeved clothes and long trousers while going outdoors, and screen the windows and doors.
