LAHORE: Faisalabad and Lahore have been declared high-risk for dengue as 19 cases were confirmed in the cities following the rains.
Dengue is spreading in the province due to the failure of the health department and local administration. The number of dengue patients is expected to rise as the fumigation drive has not taken place in August.
In the last 24 hours, eight new dengue cases were confirmed, with four patients each from Lahore and Faisalabad. Separate wards have been set up in hospitals for the treatment of dengue patients.
