Puerto Rico has 549 cases of dengue, with nearly half of the cases concentrated in the capital, San Juan.
“This year, the number of dengue cases exceeded historical records,” said Health Minister Carlos Mellado.
The disease is carried by mosquitoes, and the situation is aggravated by the fact that sometimes the disease is asymptomatic. Dengue can cause headache, pain, fever and rash, and in some cases death.
Let’s remember that last year the WHO announced the risk of rapid spread of dengue fever in the United States, Southern Europe and Africa this decade.
