About 500 positive cases of dengue have been reported in Khurda alone, followed by Sundargarh, Rourkela, Balangir, and Cuttack.
The state government has swung into action and directed district collectors to ensure preparedness to combat the spread of dengue.
Director of Public Health, Dr Nilakantha Mishra said, “Preventive measures are being implemented in locations of dengue outbreak with the assistance of urban bodies. Efforts are on to properly diagnose and treat dengue patients.”
As many as 13 positive cases were detected out of 192 samples tested in Bhubaneswar on Friday.
