Mysuru stands third in the State after Bengaluru (Bengaluru Bruhat Mahanagara Palike – BBMP) and Udupi in dengue infections as the district has reported 360 confirmed cases so far since January this year. The cases rose especially after the onset of monsoon as 124 cases were detected in June and about 74 cases so far in July.
Though no deaths due to dengue and cluster cases have been reported in the district, the spurt in cases has put the officers of the Department of Health and Family Welfare on their toes with the health workers stepping up surveillance, awareness and measures to curb mosquito breeding.
