Further cases of dengue fever have been reported in Hawaii. As of 7 December 2016, a total of 139 confirmed cases have been recorded. Of those, 122 are local residents and 17 are visitors to the islands.
A CDC expert on vector-borne diseases reported that the outbreak could go on for several months more and the number of possible cases was unpredictable.
Avoidance of mosquito bites, particularly during daylight hours, is recommended. Bite avoidance measures include: covering up with clothing, the use of insect repellent and bed nets impregnated with insecticide. Reduction of mosquito breeding sites around hotel rooms/homes is advised for longer term stays.
