Usually, cases of vector-borne disease are discovered between July and November, however they may last until mid-December. Civic officials claimed that earlier this year, dengue cases were being reported as a result of favourable mosquito breeding conditions in the weather.
In the national capital last year, there were 9,613 dengue cases reported, which is the most instances since 2015 and the most deaths since 2016. Ten deaths attributed to dengue were reported in 2016. In Delhi, there were two dengue-related fatalities in 2019, four in 2018, and ten in 2017.
