Dengue Alert in Noida: Prevention Efforts Intensify
Dengue is a disease spread by mosquitoes that breed in clean, stagnant water.
In Noida, health officials have found many places where these mosquitoes can breed, like water coolers and flowerpot trays.
They have identified areas with high risk and are working hard to prevent dengue from spreading.
This includes cleaning up stagnant water, using fogging machines to kill mosquitoes, and teaching people how to protect themselves.
Children are especially at risk because mosquitoes bite during the day when kids are playing outside.
Parents should watch for symptoms like high fever, severe headache, and vomiting.
Preventing dengue is important, and everyone needs to work together to keep their homes and neighborhoods clean and safe.
The Gautam Budh Nagar health department has identified dengue hotspots in Noida and intensified prevention efforts.
21 dengue cases have been reported, with high-risk areas including Barola, Surajpur, Kasna, and Sector 50.
Authorities are conducting surveillance, fogging, and awareness campaigns, with 650+ ASHA workers deployed.
Prevention tips include emptying, scrubbing, and drying water containers weekly to eliminate mosquito breeding sites.
Children are particularly vulnerable, and parents should use mosquito repellents, light-coloured clothing, and mosquito screens for protection.
