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.

The Colombo district is the most affected by dengue. Its spread is particularly high in the Maharagama and Colombo suburbs.

Dengue mosquito breeding sites have been found in public places, especially schools, office complexes and dilapidated vacant lands, more than in homes. However, when any cleaning activities are carried out on those vacant lands, their owners are claiming ownership.

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 activities are being carried out in many parts of the country today (27).
