six patients died of Dengue fever in Lahore Thursday. Three of them have been identified as Saleem, a resident of Out Fall Road, Mohammad Zahid, resident of Raj Garh and Nasreen Fatima.
Over 8,000 people are infected with the Dengue virus in the Punjab.
The hospitals in the province especially in Lahore continue to be packed with people. The rush is deterring treatment for patients as the death toll from the virus continues to rise in the city.
At least 130,000 people have got them tested for the virus from Lahore General Hospital in just three weeks, Post Graduate Medical Institute Principal and Lahore General Hospital (LGH) Professor Dr Tariq Salahuddin said.
A ban has been imposed on wearing short sleeve shirts and shorts in Punjab. The ban has been imposed as a measure to curb the increasing number of Dengue cases and even sport activity in the evening will not be allowed.
