on september 13, the latest dengue fever epidemic response situation released by the guangzhou center for disease control and prevention showed that the local cases of dengue fever reported in guangzhou recently involved 76 towns and streets in 11 districts, and the imported cases involved 30 towns and streets in 10 districts, which is the highest in recent times (see the end of the article for the specific list).

the municipal center for disease control and prevention stated that dengue fever is preventable and controllable. since may this year, guangzhou has insisted on group prevention and control, joint prevention and control, and coordinated efforts by departments. streets and towns have strengthened the standardized handling of epidemic sites. the current prevalence of dengue fever in the city is the same as the average over the years, and citizens do not need to worry too much. however, since there have been reports of epidemics in surrounding cities and prefectures, citizens should pay attention to the hygiene and cleanliness of their living environment, take anti-mosquito measures, cooperate with the community to do a good job in mosquito control, turn over pots and cans to clean up stagnant water, and seek medical treatment in time if they feel unwell.

in addition, the global dengue fever epidemic has been severe this year. during the upcoming mid-autumn festival and national day holidays, if citizens have plans to travel abroad, they should check the local epidemic situation in advance.

guangzhou has entered the peak period of dengue fever

set multiple "earliest in recent years" records

liu wenhui, chief physician at the guangzhou center for disease control and prevention, said that dengue fever has been on the rise around the world since the beginning of this year, and the cumulative number of cases in south america and southeast asia has more than doubled compared with the same period last year.

guangdong has frequent economic and trade exchanges with foreign countries, and is affected by import pressure. in addition, there has been more rain this year, and the density of mosquito vectors is higher than in previous years. guangzhou reported the first local case of dengue fever this year on may 2, one month earlier than usual. in previous years, some administrative regions in the city would not have local cases until the end of september or early october, but by early september this year, local cases had spread to 11 districts across the city.
