Of the 145 cases of dengue fever recorded during the week, My Duc had 16 cases, Lien Minh had 10 cases... Hanoi CDC assessed that the number of cases is on the rise, recording some outbreaks with many patients, complicated developments, and the results of monitoring the outbreaks showed insect indexes at high risk levels. It is predicted that the number of cases may continue to increase according to the annual epidemic cycle.

Next week, Hanoi CDC will continue to monitor the dengue fever outbreak areas in My Duc, Hai Ba Trung, Tuong Mai, Dan Hoa...

Hanoi CDC requires ward and commune health stations to implement plans to ensure environmental sanitation to prevent epidemics in the area, especially in areas where activities to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day (September 2) are taking place.

Relevant units should strengthen monitoring and detection of patients at decentralized medical facilities, on software systems and in the community, especially dengue fever and hand, foot and mouth disease, to promptly investigate and handle cases and outbreaks, and prevent the disease from spreading widely.
