The Health Department Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has asked the people to take precautionary measures in view of the spread of dengue fever in the current season saying that stagnant water provides a suitable environment for the breeding of dengue mosquitoes. Regional Information Office Kohat on Wednesday said that accumulated water at homes, offices, workplaces, schools, markets, hospitals, and tyres can be a cause of the dengue spread.

Besides, it said water collected in various types of pots for domestic use, water stored in ponds, closed drains and under-construction buildings could also provide a breeding nursery for dengue mosquitos and people should take special care while storing water. According to the precautionary measures issued by the health department, the dengue mosquito bites during the day, especially a few hours after sunrise and a few hours before sunset.—APP
