Apart from this, a total of 2,882 people have been admitted to hospitals during this period. So far this year, 206,288 people – 83,851 in Dhaka and 122,437 in the districts – have been hospitalized with dengue.
It is a matter of concern that dengue has now spread to almost all the districts across the country. By the end of July the number of dengue patients admitted to hospitals outside Dhaka exceeded that of the capital. The death rate is also increasing in the districts.
