Guyana is facing a concerning surge in Dengue Fever cases, with 317 cases recorded within a week. As the Ministry of Health noted, this increase is consistent with trends seen in other South American countries. The sudden rise in cases indicates a potential outbreak, and health authorities are working to contain the spread of the disease.
The Ministry of Health is taking proactive measures to address the Dengue Fever outbreak in response to the situation. One of these measures includes conducting fogging exercises nationwide. Fogging is a mosquito control method that involves spraying insecticides to target and eliminate mosquito populations, which are the primary carriers of the Dengue virus.
