#SGDengueUpdate 119 cases were reported in the week ending 22 May, 25 cases more than in the previous week. As more of us #StayHome, this could mean more blood meals for the day-biting Aedes mosquito. Keep dengue at bay, by regularly practising BLOCK & SAW. https://go.gov.sg/mozzieproof

#SGDengueUpdate Over 2,700 dengue cases have been reported in 2021. Increasing Aedes aegypti mosquito population, and higher circulation of less common Dengue virus serotypes 3 and 4 to which we have lower population immunity, contribute to higher risk of dengue transmission. While our #NEAOfficers continue to conduct targeted inspections at areas with higher mosquito population, and step up operations at dengue cluster areas, residents should do the #MozzieWipeout regularly to #BLOCKDengue. https://go.gov.sg/nea-dengue-1jun2021
