The Kerala government on Monday sounded an alert in seven districts in the state against the spread of Dengue fever.
State Health Minister Veena George said an alert has been issued to Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Alappuzha, Ernakulam, Palakkad, Kozhikode and Malappuram districts as the dengue cases were on a rise there.
“Other districts should also remain vigilant and engage in eliminating mosquito breeding sites,” she said in a release.
A high-level meeting chaired by the minister was held to review the situation in various districts.
“All districts have been asked to follow the action plan and a proper evaluation will be conducted. The cleaning fund for each ward in the local bodies must be utilised effectively,” the minister said.
