200 deaths have been reported and the majority has been reported from the Western Province, says Epidemiology Unit.
Health Ministry says that the percentage of school children getting Dengue fever has increased by 20%.
Specally, the reason for this increment has been that the Dengue carriers are in action during the time between 6.00am and 9.00am.
Accordingly, Ministry of Health in collaboration with the Ministry of Education has commenced a cleaning program in schools which is conducted from 11.00am to 12.00 noon.
