Johor Recorded a 22% Increase In Dengue Cases Between January And July
I was at a friend house last night. It’s one of our weekly get together session. However, the minute we reached there, we were welcomed with bad news. Out friend’s, which was also the host for last night session, wife was admitted to the Hospital and it is a confirmed dengue case. She was having fever for the last few days. The first blood was negative, but last night was positive for dengue.
However, since he has already prepared food and everything, he didn’t call to cancel the event. We ended talking mostly about dengue last night … and without a host.
Anyway, for the rest of you. This is something serious. It was reported recently that the increase was mostly due to the lack of cleanliness as well as the delay in seeking treatment. So, do your part. Take 10 minutes everyday do some cleanup outside and free yourself from dengeu.
