Dengue and cornvirus in the country are equally open. The new corona infection is increasing. At the same time, the prevalence of Aedes mosquito dengue fever has increased rapidly this month. Almost at home, fever and cold patients are now being reported. Death is also in both diseases.Human civilization has faced several challenges of health risk around the world, including Bangladesh. In recent times, the prevalence of dengue fever during the monsoon season of the Covid-19) epidemic has forced us to think of the prevalence of the disease-not just medical treatment, the most important thing to prevent these diseases is public awareness. It is almost impossible to control these diseases without proper information, effective management and participation of the people. In this article we will discuss how public awareness plays a central role in preventing dengue and corona and what steps need to be taken to implement it.

> Dengue and Coroner Statistics:-

> Dengue: Introduction and context

Dengue is a virus -related disease that originally spread through Aedes mosquito. Every year, the prevalence of Bangladesh is horrible during the monsoon. There are four types of dengue virus (DNV-1, DNV-2, DNV-3, DNV-4). A person may be infected with dengue multiple times.

> Symptoms: * Fever * Acute headache

* Pain in the back of the eye * Pain in the muscles

* Red rash on the skin * Vomiting and weakness

In severe cases it can become hemorrhagic dengue or dengue shock syndrome, which is fatal.

> Coronavirus: global terror and reality

Karonavirus, who was first identified in China's Uhan in the end of the 21st, quickly spread worldwide. It is a respiratory disease whose infection causes close contact, sneezing or infected things from one person to another.

> Symptoms: * Fever and cough * Breathing * throat pain * Breastness and odor * fatigue and weakness. In some cases it can cause pneumonia, respiratory and death.

> The differences and similarities between dengue and corona

The symptoms of the two diseases are one, but there are widespread differences in the medical system. If someone has two diseases at the same time; In that case, health complications may increase. As well as the complexity of the medical procedure and many. Many people can ask why?

Covid is the tendency to clot blood. This is why blood thinner drugs are used. Dengue, on the other hand, has the possibility of bleeding or bleeding tendensi. So if you give blood to dilute, there is a possibility of a more serious situation.

In the meantime, about a thousand patients admitted to different hospitals across the country after suffering from dengue. Many of them are again suffering from Covede. Since the two diseases are close, the fever can not be neglected anymore. The fever must actually be tested.

Covid usually contains fever, sore throat, no taste in the mouth, breathing- these symptoms. On the other hand, fever in dengue, and acute pain, headache, rash in the body can come.

The first aid of the two diseases can be taken through telemedicine at home. Lots of liquid food will have to be taken. Covid and dengue identification should be done for this.

Those who are pregnant, infants, old, obesity, are suffering from diabetes, hypertension, kidney, heart, liver or any other long -term physical problems for a long time, will be very careful and take medicines according to their doctor's adviceTherefore, compared to the above, the cause and spread of each disease are different, but there is a major similarity in resistance - awareness.

> Lack of public awareness: the root cause of risk

Many people in Bangladesh do not know about the symptoms of dengue or corona. Many believe that these "common fever". Many people delay the doctor's refuge, which causes complications. Many people have wandered around the mask, not maintaining social distances during corona infection, which has increased the infection.

In the case of dengue, people do not clean the frozen water around the house, where AIDS mosquitoes breed.

> Ways to increase public awareness

1. Media

It is possible to spread health awareness messages by using television, radio, newspaper and social media. The Ministry of Health, Local Government and NGOs have to campaign regularly.

2. School-school

Special classes and seminars can be organized to raise health awareness among the students in the educational institution. Children will also help spread awareness through family.

3. The role of imams and religious leaders

If religious leaders deliver health messages in mosques, temples, churches and other synagogues, it will have a positive impact on the society.

4. Local level activities

Ward or union -based awareness programs such as micking, leaflet distribution, information from house to house - these can be effective initiatives.

> Government and private enterprises

Various departments of the government, such as the Department of Health, the City Corporation, the Municipality, regularly conduct cleanliness operations, mosquito repellent programs, corona vaccine activities. Besides, the participation of private companies is important. They make people aware of reaching the field.

Examples:

Two city corporation mosquitoes in Dhaka to prevent dengue.

National vaccine activities to deal with corona.

> Personal Initiative: Everyone in the awareness of awareness

Every citizen has to be aware and responsible. If we do the following things ourselves, it will have a big impact on society:

* Using regular masks and washing hands * Taking vaccine * Stay in isolation if fever-cough

* Not allowing water around the house * To keep the water in the frozen water upside down * make others aware of

> Awareness as a social movement

Public awareness is not just personal, it must be a social movement. Such as "No Mask, No Service" policy, organizations can create awareness. Schools, offices, markets - all places have to be created.

Technology

Health information can be easily accessed to people through smartphone apps, SMS services, helpline numbers, etc. Eg: _ Corona Info App, 333 Health Information Services

, Local City Corporation Complaint and Reporting Line

> Awareness in public transport and market management

Transport and hats and bazaars are a major means of spreading the disease. In these places, the administration and the general public need joint initiatives to adhere to hygiene, keep clean environment and control public meetings.

> The role of physicians and health workers is also important

They should encourage people to seek timely treatment, to eliminate misconceptions, and advise people on hygiene if they see the symptoms of the disease. The use of telemedicine platforms can be enhanced to facilitate communication with doctors.

> Special awareness for the risky population

Separate awareness programs should be adopted for older, pregnant women, children, including children who are low. They should be vaccinated, nutritious foods and regular health tests.

> Future Preparation: Awareness to deal with epidemics and natural disasters

Dengue and Corona have shown our finger in our eyes that various health risks can come in the future. Therefore, it is important to introduce long -term awareness programs, disaster preparation, public health curriculum.

> Ways to resist dengue and corona

Covid has to adhere to hygiene, if you go out there is no option to read the mask. The vaccine must be taken. Social distance should be adhered to as much as possible. It is best not to go out of the house without need.

And for dengue, its carrier AIDS mosquito has to be resisted. There is no vaccine in dengue. The dengue virus is of 3 types. The main way to prevent dengue fever is to prevent the spread of its carrier. So that mosquitoes do not bite; To arrange for him.

It is to be remembered that AIDS is an elite mosquito, they do not live in the water of dirty odor, but they live in a large beautiful building area in the elite area. This mosquito lays eggs in clear clean water.

Therefore, to prevent dengue, Aedes mosquito eggs should be kept clean and at the same time necessary measures should be taken to eliminate the mosquito. The only way to prevent this disease is personal alertness and Aedes mosquito prevention.

Aedes mosquitoes bite mainly during the day, in the morning and evening, but can also bite in bright light at night. So during the day, the body should be well covered in cloth as possible, socks can be used on foot.

Children should be taught flowers or pajamas instead of shorts. Mosquitoes should be used day and at night to avoid mosquito bites. The net should be placed on the door and window. Mosquito can be used if needed, spray, lotion or cream, coil, matte.

Since the Aedes mosquito lays eggs in transparent water that is accumulated, the Aedes mosquito larva will die if the water in any pot or place in the house and in the vicinity is dropped for 3-5 days. The water freezing in the room should not be more than 5 days. Under the aquarium, refrigerator or air conditioner and the open water tank should be arranged so that the water is not frozen.

Many people are seen gardening on the roof of the house, there should be care that the water in the tub or container does not have more than 5 days. Shrubs, jungles, reservoirs etc. in the vicinity of the house should be kept clean. The responsibility of preventing mosquito breeding outside the settlements is by the individuals engaged in the administration.

It is only through awareness and resistance that this covid - dengue can be relieved. No one is less than anyone. Both diseases are equal in the same way.

Finally, I would like to say that doctors should not be a problem as before. But oxygen supply, diagnosis, tests - all have to be re -launched quickly. Must adhere to hygiene. There is no opportunity to neglect. The way Dengue and Cavid are raising eyes this year, if not cautious, there can be a serious dangerTherefore, it is not enough drugs, medical or government initiatives to protect against the prevalence and horror of the disease. It needs a conscious civil society. If every family, every institution and every person play a conscious and responsible role, it is possible to control these diseases. We need to remember - "Awareness protects ourselves, keeps society safe too."
