SINGAPORE: Five people have died from dengue this year, as the number of cases weekly “remain high”, the National Environment Agency said on Monday .

According to the NEA website on Monday, 110 dengue clusters have been identified. The biggest cluster, with 182 cases, includes several blocks in Jurong West Street 91, Jurong West Street 92, Yunnan Crescent, Yunnan Road, Yunnan Walk 2 and Yunnan Walk 3. It said the rise in proportion of DENV-3 cases is of concern,"as we have not had dengue outbreaks driven by DENV-3 in Singapore for almost three decades".
