On a "dry day," coolers, flower pots, birdbaths, water containers, garbage, stagnant water, and other potential mosquito breeding locations will be examined to rule out mosquito breeding. The move is intended to reduce the spread of vector-borne diseases.

  • "Everyone should observe a 'dry day' once a week," Epidemic Cell assistant director Dr Geeta Prasadini stated.
  • Stagnant water in containers can be a source of malaria because it provides ideal breeding habitat for mosquitoes.
  • Vector-borne diseases such as dengue, chikungunya, and malaria thrive during the rainy season, which occurs every year. These are all mosquito-borne diseases that can spread epidemically if preventative precautions are not implemented.
  • "The greatest way to control any disease is to prevent it."
  • It is critical to avoid mosquito breeding in order to control and prevent the outbreak, and pupils should be made aware of this.
  • All schools have also been told to appoint a nodal officer who will be in charge of all activities relating to vector-borne disease prevention and control, as well as overseeing the activities.
