Genome sequencing was recently done in Delhi, in which 19 out of 20 cases have been found to be of type-2 dengue. Let us know how dangerous this strain of dengue is and how it can be avoided.

Dengue's dangerous strain DENV-2 found in Delhi

During genome sequencing in Delhi, a dangerous strain of dengue DENV-2 has been found. This strain is very dangerous. DENV-2 was detected in 19 out of 20 dengue samples. After this, the government has also come on alert mode and people have also been advised to be careful about it. Let us tell you that there are DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4 types of dengue. Which DENV-2 is considered the most serious? Hospitals have been advised by the government to reserve beds and keep proper stock of medicines. A 24-7 dengue control room will also be started soon.

Advisory issued by the Delhi government

  • Type 2 is a dangerous strain. Keeping in mind the situation, an advisory has been issued by the government. If mosquitoes are found breeding in a house, then there can be a fine of 1000 rupees. At the same time, if the instructions related to preventing mosquito breeding are not followed at a commercial place, then a fine of Rs 5000 can be imposed.
  • 1031 helpline has been designed for dengue cases. Also soon setup will be done in the control room for this.
  • If you have any symptoms, consult a doctor instead of self-medicating. Aspirin, disprin and other medicines thin the blood and can cause problems for the dengue patient. That's why show the doctor if you have a fever.
  • Asha workers will also be made aware of this so that correct information can be conveyed to the people. Announcements will be made to spread awareness in Delhi Metro as well.
  • If a dengue patient feels more weakness or a lack of water in the body, then he should be admitted to the hospital without delay.
  • Children will have to wear full sleeve shirts and full pants in schools. Also, children have to be made aware of this. Children will be explained to prevent water logging in their homes. For this 'Dengue Homework Card' will also be designed.
