Question: Hello , We are presently in XXXXXXX XXXXXXX on our vacations this week. Temperature is around 20(Max)-10(Min) today. Wanted to understand few small questions
1, What is the Dengue Condition now in XXXXXXX and XXXXXXX in the winters. Is it still spreading.
2. Today we noticed in the morning around 8.30 AM , that there was a mosquito which we killed that was full of blood that it had sucked. While we didnt know whom it bit and when (may be from the night as it was completely full), none of us could feel any bite or itch.

Can you pls tell me on what i should be my action items now with as i fear for Dengue. i know its a silly question.
Also can you pls tell me if Dengue is being transmitted now, in this cold weather. We live on the 5th floor.
