The Regional Directorate of Health Services (RDHS) in Kalutara has mobilized inter-agency dengue control teams across commercial and residential premises after national epidemiological reports identified the district as contributing 6.2% of the country's recent dengue infections.

Public Health Inspectors (PHIs) accompanied by security personnel are conducting door-to-door inspections focusing on school compounds, construction yards, and tire storage facilities in high-density urban wards. Health authorities emphasized that legal notices will be issued against recurring mosquito-breeding sites, urging residents to eliminate stagnant water collectors during the active rainy spell.
