KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 4 — The cumulative number of dengue fever cases reported in 2022 saw an increase of 150.7 per cent or 39,737 cases to a total of 66,102 cases from only 26,365 cases reported in 2021.

Dr Noor Hisham said preventive measures are necessary to ensure that dengue fever incidents can be prevented. Asymptomatic dengue patients who visited new places will bring with them the dengue viruses which are spread to people through the bite of an infected Aedes species, he said. In a bid to reduce the incidence of dengue cases and epidemics, Dr Noor Hisham advised the states that have been hit by floods, such as Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang, Perlis, Perak, Kedah, Sabah and Sarawak, to start cleaning up piles of garbage and waste within a week after the floods recede so as to prevent the flood-hit areas from becoming breeding grounds for Aedes.
