In the last 24 hours till Monday morning, 461 dengue patients were hospitalised. Among them, 143 were admitted to 41 government and public hospitals inside Dhaka and 318 to different district-level hospitals. 

Though the overall number of new infections with the mosquito borne disease is decreasing, it is still quite concerning outside Dhaka.

According to the Directorate General of Health Services, the Institute of Epidemiology Disease Control and Research has so far reviewed 126 deaths and confirmed that 75 among the patients died of dengue. The institute so far received information about 224 deaths.
