Rawalpindi has recorded the highest number of dengue cases in Punjab. The city reported 22 cases amid growing health concerns.

The latest figures show Rawalpindi has emerged as a major Dengue Hotspot in the province.

Lahore reported 14 cases, while Chakwal, Multan and Rahim Yar Khan recorded three cases each.

Attock, Gujranwala and Muzaffargarh reported two cases each. Several other districts also recorded individual cases.

DG Khan, Faisalabad, Nankana Sahib and Okara reported one case each. Pakpattan and Sialkot also reported one case each.

Health authorities said adequate measures have been taken to control the situation. Public hospitals have been provided with sufficient supplies of medicines.

Officials are also monitoring the situation across affected districts. Health teams are working to identify cases and limit further transmission.

Residents have been advised to keep their surroundings clean and dry. Authorities said this can help reduce mosquito breeding sites.

People have also been urged to remove standing water from around their homes. Containers, rooftops and other areas should remain free of stagnant water.

The advisory is particularly important in areas identified as a Dengue Hotspot. Residents are encouraged to cooperate with health teams during prevention activities.

Authorities may inspect areas and take steps to identify possible mosquito breeding grounds. Public cooperation can support these efforts and reduce the risk of transmission.

A dedicated helpline has also been established for residents. People can call 1033 for treatment guidance and complaints.

Health officials have reminded citizens about the symptoms of dengue. The disease is transmitted through the bite of infected mosquitoes.

Common symptoms include high fever and severe headache. Patients may also experience pain behind the eyes and body aches.

Nausea, vomiting and skin rashes are other possible symptoms. People experiencing these symptoms should seek medical advice.

There is currently no specific treatment that directly eliminates the dengue virus. Medical care generally focuses on managing symptoms and preventing complications.

Prevention therefore remains an important part of dengue control. Avoiding mosquito bites can help reduce the risk of infection.

Residents should use mosquito repellents and protective clothing where appropriate. Keeping doors and windows screened can also help prevent mosquito entry.

The removal of breeding sites remains another key preventive measure. Standing water should not be allowed to collect for long periods.

The health department’s latest figures show that dengue cases are spread across several districts. However, Rawalpindi currently has the highest reported number.

The situation has placed additional focus on the city as a Dengue Hotspot. Authorities continue to encourage preventive measures among residents.

Health teams and public hospitals are expected to remain engaged in managing reported cases. Residents have been advised to seek medical guidance when symptoms appear.

Officials have also stressed the importance of community cooperation. Clean surroundings and early reporting can support efforts to contain dengue transmission.
