The dengue epidemic is decreasing. Let’s continue our mobilization!
From June 15 to 21, 219 cases of dengue fever were confirmed in La Réunion. Although the number of cases continues to decrease, the circulation of the virus remains active in 21 communes, mainly in the west and the south of the island.
The number of emergency room visits and hospitalizations is also decreasing. In this southern winter period, let’s continue our efforts to slow down the circulation of dengue.
The Prefecture and the Regional Health Agency remind the people of Réunion of the importance of protecting themselves from dengue fever by implementing essential prevention measures:
protect yourself from mosquito bites, eliminate breeding sites all around your home, and quickly consult a doctor if symptoms arise. These protective measures also apply to people who have already contracted dengue.
Indeed, with 3 types of dengue present on the territory, these people can again be infected by the virus.
Since the beginning of the year
Over 16,100 Aboriginal cases confirmed
580 hospitalizations
1,654 emergency visits
13 deaths (including 6 directly related to dengue)
