As many as 34 new dengue cases have been reported in Islamabad over the past 24 hours, taking the number of patients under treatment in various hospitals across the city to 66, according to the latest official report.
In response to the rising number of cases, the Islamabad administration has directed its teams to intensify surveillance in high-risk areas.
Officials said fumigation and public awareness campaigns are being accelerated to curb the spread of the mosquito-borne virus.
The district administration has also warned that strict action will be taken against violations of standard operating procedures (SOPs), adding that several sites found breaching guidelines have already been sealed.
“All preventive and anti-dengue measures will continue without interruption until the city is completely free of the virus,” the district administration stated.
