The three teams of doctors sent to Budaun and Bareilly districts have started investigation into the spread of mysterious disease that is killing children.
The teams are holding camps in the affected villages and speeding up co-ordination between the district and the state headquarters.
Government spokesman Awanish Awasthi said in a statement issued here on Sunday that the three teams have galvanised the local doctors by organising camps in villages.
He said rapid diagnostic kits were being used to identify the fever and where it was needed, fever tracking mechanism had been put to use. Awasthi said medicines were being distributed free of cost in the affected villages.
Following reports of spread of fever in Bareilly and Budaun districts, the government has sent three teams of doctors there on the directive of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
Of the three teams, two have been sent to Budaun and one to Bareilly.
“The teams are extending help to the district administration and chief medical officers to effectively control the fever,” the government spokesman said.
“The teams have established coordination with the district administration and have ensured availability of clean drinking water and cleanliness,” he added.
Awasthi said in case of verification of malaria in a particular house, regular fogging will be done in and around that house.
