Dengue virus has so far claimed 16 lives in Sindh, with a total of 80 new cases emerging in the province.
The total number of positive cases in Sindh is reported to be about 1,668.
The provincial government gave Rs10 million to the Health Ministry to buy Rapid Antigen Kits which can detect the virus within six hours of testing.
