The Public
Health Department, of the Colombo Municipal Council (PHD CMC), yesterday urged
the Vice Chancellor of the Colombo University to temporarily close the
faculties of Law and Management and clean up all mosquito breeding places
there.
Chief of the PHDCMC
said that there had been several dengue cases reported from the two faculties
which had prompted the PHD to carry out inspections.
Last week the council
fumigated the whole area where the two faculties were situated and inspections
were carried out yesterday morning. The PHD Chief said that there had been
several places where his teams had found mosquito larvae.
Dr. Kariyawasam said
he had written to the VC and asked him to temporarily close the two faculties
and carry out cleaning campaigns to prevent more students from being infected.
The number of dengue
cases in the city from January to the beginning of June had increased to 1,237
while three deaths were reported within the period. 1,011 dengue cases were
reported within the first five months of last year. Extract From ISLAND
