Lankadeepa and Ada Derana say its purpose is to organise and speed up dengue prevention, control and coordination; Newswire likewise reports that it is intended to strengthen and coordinate control work.
Daily Mirror and Newswire report that a National Dengue Prevention Week begins on the 9th and targets 74 Medical Officer of Health divisions considered at increased risk of an outbreak. Ada Derana also reports a campaign across 74 high-risk areas, but its reports conflict over whether it starts today or tomorrow.
