Further cases of chikungunya virus infection have been confirmed in Dominica. A total of 13 cases have now been recorded. Most of the cases have been confined to two communities; Woodfordhill and Bath Estate.
The environmenal health department is carrying out fogging and mosquito breeding site reduction in the affected areas. Residents are also being encouraged to reduce the number of mosquito breeding sites by removing discarded objects that can contain water and by covering water containers.
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.
