In 6 months, the number of dengue fever cases in Hai Duong is more than double the same period.

In the last week of June alone, there were 12 cases of the disease, of which 4 cases had domestic pathogens, the rest were infected from other localities.

Most of the cases have been cured, there are no serious cases. Thanh Mien district has the highest number of cases in the province with 14 cases. Next is Gia Loc with 9 cases, Cam Giang with 8 cases...

Master Cao Xuan An, Head of the Department of Infectious Diseases - Parasites - Insects (Provincial Center for Disease Control) said that dengue fever occurs all year round, but the peak outbreak time is usually from May to November. In Hai Duong, sporadic cases of dengue fever have appeared since the beginning of the year, and now many cases have appeared in June.

The main cause is the alternating hot and sunny weather, heavy rain, and high humidity, which is very favorable for the development of mosquitoes that cause dengue fever.

Master An recommends that grassroots medical units need to closely monitor and detect outbreaks in the area early to handle them promptly and avoid outbreaks. Strengthen communication campaigns to prevent dengue fever. Organize environmental sanitation campaigns to kill mosquito larvae to prevent dengue fever. People should not arbitrarily buy medicine to treat at home when they see symptoms of fever or rash.
