Health department reports over 700 cases of dengue fever

Meanwhile, a campaign is being launched Nakhon Ratchasima to prevent the spread of dengue fever. Health officials reported 737 cases of the mosquito-borne tropical disease were found.

The campaign involves village health volunteers killing mosquito larvae in village hotspots.

Dr Kittipong Sanchartwiroon, director of the Disease Control Office, said the numbers of people who contracted dengue fever have increased rapidly.

During January-April this year, Nakhon Ratchasima had 737 dengue fever cases. 27.92 per 100,000 population — followed by Chaiyaphum’s 223 cases (19.57 per 100,000 population); Buri Ram’s 143 cases (8.98 per 100,000 population); and Surin’s 96 cases (6.87 per 100,000 population).

In Nakhon Ratchasima, the hardest-hit district was Non Thai with 73 cases and one death. Followed by Non Sung district with 70 cases and Chok Chai district with 48 cases.

Affected the most were people in the 10-14 age group, followed by the 5-9 and 15-24 groups.

It is, therefore, necessary to step up the campaign against the dengue fever spread alongside the measures to stem the coronavirus pandemic, Dr Kittipong said.
