The number of cases reported in the first seven weeks of this year is double that of the same period in 2023.

A state of emergency has been declared in most provinces of Peru due to an increase in the number of dengue fever cases. Associated Press reports.

According to the country’s Ministry of Health, the number of dengue fever cases reported in the first seven weeks of this year is twice as high as the same period in 2023 – more than 31 thousand cases. In the first two months of this year, 32 Peruvians died from the virus.

It is known that the state of emergency in the health sector will allow the government of the country to quickly transfer money to the affected regions, as well as transport doctors and nurses. It has been introduced in 20 of the country’s 24 provinces, including the regions surrounding the capital, Lima.

Dengue fever is spread by the Aedys Egypti mosquito. Although most cases of dengue have mild symptoms, the disease can cause severe headache, fever and muscle aches.

It can be remembered that in Argentina, 29 people died due to Dengue fever.

It was previously reported that cholera was spreading rapidly in Zimbava, killing dozens of people.
