Historical data shows that dengue deaths usually decline in October, but this time the scenario is quite different and there is no sign of relief.
A total of 49,584 dengue patients have been hospitalized in the current month, resulting in an average daily hospitalization number of 2,361.
Still, health officials have no specific explanation for so many deaths this year. The Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) said that currently the DENV-3 variant of dengue is more active and it causes serious health complications in the human body.
