Manipur Dengue Cases Surpass 3,500 This Year, One Death Reported

Dengue fever is a sickness caused by mosquitoes.

In the Indian state of Manipur, over 3,500 people have gotten sick with dengue this year.

Sadly, one person has passed away from the illness.

The number of cases has gone up recently, especially because of lots of rain and water collecting in places where mosquitoes like to live.

Health officials are working to stop the spread by killing mosquitoes and telling people how to stay safe.

They are telling everyone to keep their homes clean and get rid of any standing water.

If someone gets a fever, body aches, or a rash, they should see a doctor quickly.

This year has seen more cases than last year, though last year had more deaths.
