Dengue Threat Persists in Mohali Despite Cold Weather, Vigilance Advised Till November

Despite the onset of cooler weather, health authorities in Mohali have warned that the threat of dengue fever has not diminished. They emphasize that the mosquito-borne disease can still spread in low temperatures if breeding sites are present.

Officials advise residents to continue preventive measures such as emptying stagnant water from containers, using mosquito repellents, wearing full-sleeved clothing, and installing window screens. Community cleanliness drives are being encouraged to reduce mosquito habitats.

People are urged to remain alert for symptoms like high fever, severe headache, and joint pain, and to seek medical attention promptly. The advisory to stay vigilant will remain in effect until November.
