Bengaluru, India, is experiencing a significant increase in dengue cases, with over 4,900 reports and seven suspected deaths since January. The arrival of the monsoon has contributed to this rise, causing concern among authorities and the population.
Various measures have been announced, including fumigation and reinforcement of healthcare personnel, to combat the spread of the virus.
The situation has led authorities to launch an application that will allow monitoring and predicting outbreaks of transmissible diseases in advance. This tool is part of a broader effort to improve epidemiological surveillance and rapid response to future cases.
