The number of new cases of dengue fever in Vietnam continues to rise. The Ministry of Health has recorded 51 000 cases nationwide since the beginning of 2012; of those 42 have died as a result. Recently cases have increased rapidly with 13 000 recorded in the month of September alone. The early rains and increased urbanisation are thought to have exacerbated the situation.
Advice for Travellers
Avoidance of mosquito bites, particularly during daylight hours, by covering up with clothing, the use of bite avoidance measures such as repellent and bed nets is advised. Elimination of breeding sites around hotel rooms/houses is advised for longer term stays.
