Government officials should not forget dengue while the fight against Covid-19 is on, chief minister Mamata Banerjee said on Monday.

“Please carry on the work needed to prevent dengue. Ensure that a situation does not arise later where you have to fight dengue and Covid-19 together,” she said at a news conference in Nabanna. “I have asked urban development principal secretary Subrata Gupta and Sharad Dwivedi of the health department to ensure dengue prevention.”

CMC workers are visiting homes to identify potential mosquito breeding sites.
