With 1,558 new dengue cases reported yesterday, the total number of dengue cases has surpassed 2.5 lakh, marking yet another milestone for the mosquito-borne disease this year.
2019 was a crucial year for dengue, with the highest number of cases ever reported globally. For Bangladesh too, it was a loud wake-up call, with record caseload and deaths. But the government continued with its slumber.
