Eight people have been diagnosed with dengue fever in the latest breakout of the mosquito-borne tropical disease in Yen Hoa ward, Cau Giay district, Hanoi, said Nguyen Nhat Cam, director of Hanoi Preventive Medicine Centre.
The city has recorded 86 cases of dengue fever since the beginning of the year, a decrease by half compared from same period last year, according to statistics from the Hanoi Preventive Medicine Centre.
 
The complicated development of a new outbreak with numerous patients forebodes an epidemic is likely to reoccur in August, September and October. Last week, the city also recorded a rise of 11 new cases of dengue fever over the previous week.
Cam said the most effective preventative measure is eradication of mosquitoes and larva as there is no available vaccine for the disease. In the future, drastic measures will be undertaken to stamp out the epidemic in the city.
