" VASCO/BICHOLIM: Following two cases of dengue being reported from Karma Enclave Colony, Vaddem, opposite Pai Nursing Home, Vasco urban health centre in-charge Dr Vikas Kuvelkar along with Dr Dayanand Thakkar and a field worker on Monday afternoon carried out an inspection of the colony. The doctors admitted that besides the two reported cases of dengue, three other cases are also being suspected.
According to Kuvelkar, the suspected dengue cases are among two boys, aged between 10 and 12 years, who were admitted to a private hospital. While one has been discharged, the other is still undergoing treatment.
During their inspection, inside the flat of one of the boys, the team noticed some breeding taking place in flower pots kept in the gallery. After testing the sample, it was found to be larvae. "We have recovered three flower pots from the same flat," Kuvelkar added. After clearing the pots, the team conducted fogging at the site and instructed the colony residents to take precautions against conditions that serve as breeding grounds for mosquitoes."
