Health wing in Warangal put on high alert

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

135 patients infected with malarial virus; 53 dengue cases found

District Collector Rahul Bojja has appealed to the people to supplement the efforts of the district administration in preventing the epidemics.

Addressing a press conference in Warangal on Thursday, he said no deaths were reported on account of dengue and there were many misconceptions on the symptoms.

?All fevers are not dengue cases. Bleeding, rashes on the body and other symptoms indicate dengue. People are scared and approaching private hospitals which are exploiting them. People should only approach government doctors or health workers,? he said.
