Over 5,000 Dengue Cases Hit Singapore in the First Quarter

NEA conducted more than 813,000 inspections in 2023, finding more than 19,600 mosquito breeding habitats. More than half were found in housing, 38 percent in public places and 5 percent at construction sites.

NEA said that like last year, working together with stakeholders to increase public awareness and dengue prevention efforts is critical in the fight against dengue.

"The National Dengue Prevention Campaign 2024 emphasizes that dengue prevention is a social responsibility, and will continue to rally the community to still be careful and reduce the risk of dengue infection," it said.
