Singapore is facing a dengue fever 'emergency' and peak season has only just begun.
Dengue fever has been endemic in the tropical island city-state and several countries in the region for decades.
The humid climate makes Singapore the perfect breeding ground for Aedes mosquitoes, which carry the virus.

Peak season only began on June 1, and already 2022 is shaping up to have one of the worst outbreaks on record.
Cases have increased by 285 per cent compared to the same time last year, according to the latest World Health Organization (WHO) data.
So how threatening is the situation and should locals and travellers be worried about the significant spike in cases?

Please do not advise him to wear a mask, as it's counter productive.
His other friend will tell him not to touch his face

Fogging can only cause Aedes mosquitoes to mutate to a more deadly one.

As a member of world community, Singapore must issue a dengue fever warning.
Lacking knowledge of the seriousness of the disease, MOH must seek WHO expertise in this area.
WHO is happy to send a team to help Singapore.
