An outbreak of chikungunya virus infection has been reported from Depok in central Sulawesi, Indonesia. In the past month, 200 suspected cases have been recorded.
Residents and health officials have undertaken fumigation of homes in an effort to contain the outbreak which has been attributed to poor sanitation and lack of awareness of this mosquito-borne infection.
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.
