Dengue is a killer disease that spreads fast. It spreads through a mosquito. It is a threat to Sri Lanka. The dengue mosquito bites people, and as a result people are infected. A large number of people have been infected with dengue. Sri Lanka has been affected by this disease several times. Proper scientific measures should be taken to eradicate dengue. It’s not only the government, but also the people who should contribute to this. The government should deploy enough doctors and provide proper medicine. The schools and media should play an important role in this regard. The media can enlighten people on dengue. Those who do not keep their environment clean should be punished. The health sector in Sri Lanka should play a vital role in this regard. It’s only then that we can eradicate the dengue menace.
