The Republic is facing a potential dengue outbreak, as the number of cases recorded last week is almost double that of the same period last year, the National Environment Agency warned on Thursday.
The fast-transmitting dengue virus serotype 3 , which the population has low immunity against, is currently predominant. This means more people are susceptible to contracting it, said the agency, urging “urgent collective action” to stop mosquitoes from breeding. A total of 279 cases were reported last week and, as at Jan 18, there were 82 active clusters. Of these, 13 were classified as large ones with 10 or more cases. In 2022, 147 cases were recorded in the same week.
NEA said the number of cases recorded in 2023 has remained high, with the figure hovering around 280. The virus is spreading relatively quickly in three of the large clusters – in Hougang Avenue 1, Lorong 4 Toa Payoh and Hougang Avenue 6, said the NEA. A cluster is formed when two or more cases of dengue are recorded within 150m of each other and within 14 days.
