New Delhi, Nov 27 (IANS) The national capital has recorded seven new dengue cases, taking the total number of people affected by the mosquito-borne disease to 1,061, a health department official said Friday.
“There were seven new confirmed cases in the last 24 hours. The cumulative total of dengue affected people is 1,061″ a health department official told IANS.

Of the total, 1,048 affected were Delhi residents and 13 were from outside the city.

According to officials, the number of dengue cases is expected to decrease with the onset of winter since the carrier Aedes mosquito cannot breed in temperatures below 15 degrees Celsius.

Earlier, two deaths were reported from the capital — one of a 15-year-old boy and the other of a nine-year-old boy.
