Since the beginning of the year, it seems that mankind has suddenly entered an eventful autumn, and the COVID-19 epidemic has swept the world. The American economy is in recession, racist demonstrations broke out and even turned into riots. In addition, European countries have a hard time because of the epidemic. At this time, our neighbor Singapore also encountered many troubles.
Dengue fever occurred in Singapore from June to 10 last year. A few years ago, the disease was brought under control. However, dengue fever broke out this year.
Dengue fever is mainly transmitted by mosquitoes. Many people will have symptoms of dengue fever within four to ten days after being bitten by mosquitoes. When dengue fever is severe, people will bleed, even organ failure, which has the ability to threaten their lives.
Most of this virus is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, which mainly live in tropical and subtropical regions. So far, the only way to curb the spread of the epidemic is to find the breeding area of Aedes mosquitoes as much as possible and eliminate Aedes mosquitoes in this area.
The serious dengue fever in Singapore this time is mainly due to being caught off guard. Because there are four kinds of dengue viruses, and two kinds of dengue viruses in Singapore are generally fixed, it is a coincidence that a new trick has come this year, which is different from the previous virus types, so Singapore's defense against dengue fever is somewhat unprepared.
In addition, some people think that the spread of dengue fever is related to the COVID-19 epidemic. After all, because of the COVID-19 epidemic, people were forced to be isolated at home, which provided more time for the bite of Aedes mosquitoes, so the probability of people suffering from dengue fever greatly increased.
