NEA warns of potential dengue outbreak, number of cases last week almost double that of 2022
SINGAPORE – 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.
A total of 279 cases were reported last week and, as of 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. 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. When two or more cases of dengue are recorded within 150m of each other within 14 days, it is considered a cluster.said NEA. Its population was 24 per cent higher compared with December 2021.
Some of the most common mosquito-breeding spots found in homes last year included domestic containers, flower pot plates and trays, as well as ornamental containers such as vases.
