Deyalsingh said, "As we record our fifth laboratory-confirmed dengue-related death, I take the opportunity to inform the public that all state agencies continue to work collaboratively to reduce the mosquito population as far as possible." He reminded the public "of the vital role to be played in clearing all possible sources where clean, clear, standing water exists in their homes and properties, which is where the mosquito can live and breed. "Let's continue to work together to reduce the incidence of dengue." An update on July 20 also said there had been four deaths. The first was that of 65-year-old Sieunarine Mahadeo, of Barrackpore, on June 19. The second was that of a teenager whose name was not disclosed.
