The situation remains stable but vigilance is still required

From March 7 to March 20, 91 dengue cases were reported (compared to 72 cases recorded from February 21 to March 6 after data consolidation). The new cases are mainly located in the South (46%) and the West (44%). Although the number of emergency visits is increasing, activity remains lower this year, compared to the last three years at the same period. The epidemiological situation still corresponds for the moment to a period of inter-epidemic.

In this period of rain favorable to the development of mosquitoes and the transmission of the disease, Reunionese are encouraged to continue daily prevention measures:
– remove anything that may contain water,
– protect yourself from mosquitoes (repellents, mosquito nets),
– consult a doctor immediately at the first symptoms.
