Prime Minister Harini Amarasooriya has stated that the number of dengue patients in the country has increased due to the spread of a new dengue virus. He further commented on this, Despite the increase in the spread of dengue due to the new virus, we had implemented a special eradication program. Currently, its spread has decreased somewhat. The Colombo district is the most affected by dengue. Its spread is particularly high in the Maharagama and Colombo suburbs. More dengue mosquito breeding sites have been found in public places, especially schools, office complexes and dilapidated vacant lands, than in homes. However, when any cleaning activities are carried out on those vacant lands, their owners are claiming their rights. He also said that dengue mosquito breeding has been identified in places where construction work has been started and then stopped halfway. Considering the current situation, special dengue eradication measures are being carried out in many parts of the country today (27). During this time, it is reported that mosquito breeding sites have been identified within some government institution premises.
