Kohima: Health authorities logged 30 dengue cases across Dimapur and Chümoukedima. The situation is under control. The district vector-borne officer stated the current status is "not very alarming" and confirmed no patients are currently hospitalized.
The chief medical officer reported no critical cases. Officials expect seasonal spikes in transmission. District Hospital Dimapur stands ready for any surge. The facility’s blood centre maintains sufficient stock, though officials noted that proper clinical management usually eliminates the need for transfusions.
Prevention is the priority. The health department started fogging affected areas and launched anti-larval operations to kill mosquito breeding sites. The district vector-borne officer urged residents to stop water from pooling around homes. Cleanliness remains the best defense against further outbreaks.
