So, here’s the scoop – Pune is currently dealing with three confirmed cases of Zika virus. Yup, you heard that right. Patients in Erandwana and Mundhwa have tested positive for the virus, and the city’s Municipal Corporation is not taking any chances.
In Erandwane, a doctor and his daughter were the unlucky ones to contract Zika. Over in Mundhwa, a woman also tested positive for the virus. The health department is not messing around – they’ve already sent blood samples from contacts of these patients for further testing.
Pregnant women, suspected cases, family members, neighbors – you name it, they’re all getting tested. The Municipal Health Department is on high alert, making sure they catch any potential cases early on.
Dr. Rajesh Dighe, Assistant Health Officer, is leading the charge in preventive measures. Fumigating homes, identifying breeding sites, and issuing notices to construction site owners – they’re leaving no stone unturned.
Residents are being urged to take precautions, report any symptoms, and be vigilant about preventing mosquito bites. The health department is keeping a close eye on the situation and will do whatever it takes to keep the virus from spreading further.
Stay safe, Pune. We’re all in this together.
