Punjab recorded 12 new dengue cases within the last 24 hours, according to the provincial health authorities. The steady rise in daily infections has renewed concern across the region. Although numbers remain controlled, consistent monitoring continues.
Since the start of the year, Punjab has documented 4,244 dengue cases. The pattern shows that infections are appearing in several districts, which increases the urgency for preventive action. Moreover, the scattered distribution highlights the need for sustained awareness campaigns.
District-Wise Breakdown of Fresh Cases
The latest data shows one new case each from Rawalpindi and Lahore. These cities have regularly reported dengue infections throughout the season. Therefore, officials continue to urge residents to adopt strict preventive measures.
Faisalabad recorded two new cases during the same period. Meanwhile, Rahim Yar Khan, Sheikhupura, Bahawalpur, and Okara reported one case each. These numbers indicate that dengue activity remains present in both urban and semi-urban zones.
Furthermore, Sialkot and Muzaffargarh also documented one case apiece. Although these numbers appear small, authorities warn that sporadic spread can lead to sudden spikes if precautions are ignored.
Health Authorities Stress Preventive Action
Officials have advised citizens to remove stagnant water and keep their surroundings clean. Additionally, they urged households to use mosquito repellents and ensure proper screening of windows. Because dengue spreads through mosquitoes, these steps play a crucial role in controlling transmission.
The health department continues surveillance across the province. As a result, teams remain active in high-risk areas. They are also encouraging community involvement to limit breeding sites.
Yearly Trend Calls for Continued Vigilance
Although the current rise is moderate, the yearly figure of more than four thousand cases signals persistent risk. The spread across several districts shows the importance of consistent public cooperation. Consequently, residents are urged to stay alert as cooler months can still support mosquito activity in certain localities.
Punjab’s health authorities plan to maintain strict monitoring throughout the season. Their focus remains on early detection and rapid response. With steady coordination, they aim to limit further spread in the weeks ahead.
