More dengue cases with rains
By Santhush Fernando
Dengue is spreading again in many parts of Sri Lanka but a Health Ministry official reassured yesterday it was not a new epidemic and there was no cause for an alarm.
With the onset of the rains, more than 50 cases have been reported from Kandy, about ten each from Kurunegala and Matale and some cases in Colombo.

The Health Ministry official said there were no deaths so far but the Ministry was taking no chances and was conducting preventing or awareness campaigns.
However, hospital sources said the number of dengue patients being admitted to hospitals was on the increase.
