Dengue and Malaria Cases Persist in Delhi NCR During Winter

Dengue and malaria are usually thought of as diseases that spread during the rainy season.

However, in Delhi and nearby areas, cases have been found even in the cooler months of October to December.

This happens because mosquitoes can still breed in small containers of water, and cities can be warmer than the surrounding areas.

Also, sometimes the efforts to control mosquitoes are not done properly, and people might not take enough precautions.

To prevent these diseases, it's important to get rid of any standing water, use mosquito repellent, and for the authorities to keep checking and spraying areas where mosquitoes might breed.

Even though these diseases are most common after the monsoon, it's important to stay careful even in the winter.
