No dengue cases have been recorded in the district in the last 24 hours, according to Dr. Sajjad.
He said that during interior monitoring, 1,261 anti-dengue teams examined 34,375 houses in the previous 24 hours and discovered dengue larvae in 35 of them.
In a similar vein, he noted that during outdoor surveillance, 512 teams examined 15,474 sites and found larvae in only 1 location.
The health officials also noted that climatic changes that were unsuitable for the dengue parasite’s existence caused dengue cases to drop to their lowest level.
