Singapore Sees Surge in Dengue Cases in First Quarter of 2024

Singapore experiences a surge in dengue cases, with over 5,000 reported in the first quarter of 2024, more than double the cases reported during the same period in 2023. The National Environment Agency (NEA) has issued a statement urging the public to take proactive measures to combat dengue, as seven dengue-related deaths were reported in the island state as of March 25. The recent spike in cases has raised concerns and prompted the NEA to intensify efforts to prevent mosquito breeding.
