Impact & Risks

The rise in dengue cases poses a significant health risk to residents of Delhi, particularly during the ongoing post-monsoon season, which is conducive to mosquito breeding. The high number of cases in September and early October indicates a persistent threat of vector-borne diseases in the region. Vulnerable populations, including children, the elderly, and those with pre-existing health conditions, are at greater risk of severe complications.
