Too early to tell if dengue epidemic has peaked: Grace Fu
SINGAPORE — It is still too early to tell whether the ongoing dengue epidemic has peaked, said Second Minister for Environment and Water Resources Grace Fu today (June 16).
She stressed that it is important for everyone to keep their surroundings free of mosquito breeding sites, and dengue patients can help stop the virus from spreading.
She said: “For patients of dengue fever, it’s also important for them to prevent themselves from (getting bitten by) the mosquitoes. We have to stop the mosquito-to-human and human-to-mosquito transmission in order to control the incidence of dengue.
“It’s still early, and we need to all be very mindful, to keep our living environment free of breeding sites and all parties, town councils, schools, building owners, government agencies, we should all step up our cleaning efforts.”
My illilerate grandmother would have told me the same thing.
