July 02, Colombo (LNW): Sri Lanka has recorded more than 56,000 dengue infections so far this year, as health authorities continue to grapple with a steady increase in cases across the country.
The latest figures show that over 1,000 new infections were confirmed within the past 24 hours, highlighting the persistent spread of the mosquito-borne disease and raising concerns over its growing impact on public health.
Medical officials have urged the public to remain vigilant by eliminating mosquito breeding sites in and around their homes, particularly following periods of rainfall that create favourable conditions for mosquito breeding.
They have also encouraged anyone experiencing symptoms such as a high fever, severe headaches, joint pain or skin rashes to seek prompt medical attention.
