A deadly virus is attacking the country. People are gripped with fear of fever. In less than two months, from the beginning of the year through Friday, February 20, the virus attack has taken the life of 191 victims and left 9,073 others bedridden. The figures are likely to rise before the rainy season ends in a few months time. The dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) virus is not a new threat.
