With Covid-19 being in the spotlight recently, the equally serious phenomenon of dengue fever in Singapore has taken a back seat.
However, the National Environment Agency (NEA) warned that dengue cases may reach historical highs if current trends are recurrent.
“We’ve had more than 9,000 dengue cases so far this year. We have not seen such figures for the same period since 2013, the largest outbreak year for Singapore in recent history. Last week, the weekly number of cases rose to 735 – the highest since 2013 and 2014. This is quite worrying for all of us,” noted Minister for Environment and Water Resources, Masagos Zulkifli, in a Facebook post on June 3.
