The weekly number of dengue cases in Singapore has surpassed the record high reported in 2014, with 895 people infected between Jun 7 and Jun 12. That brings the total number of dengue cases in Singapore in 2020 so far to 10,732.
Last month, more than 300,000 bottles of mosquito repellent were issued to households in cluster areas. People should apply mosquito repellent to protect themselves from being bitten, the agency said.
People should also prevent potential mosquito breeding grounds. They should flip flower pot plates, tip vases, leave pails overturned or clear the roof gutter and drains within compounds.
