Summary:
Every Friday, the teams check different hospitals, schools, and other places. As more than 350 cases of dengue were reported last year, district epidemiologist Dr Ramesh Kumar and his teams have already started checking larvae at different locations. During those checks, three hospitals were found guilty, as the team discovered larvae in their coolers, which they destroyed by larvicide spray. This time, they checked 23 hospitals under the anti-larvae scheme.
