7 Guangzhou Districts Infected with Dengue Fever
Aug 20, 2014 By eChinacities.com

In early June this year Guangzhou’s first local dengue fever cases appeared in  Yuexiu District. Since then, dengue fever has spread to other areas, threatening to turn into an epidemic.

This year alone, there have been more than 400 cases of dengue fever across 50 streets in 7 districts, including the Yuexin District, Baiyun District and Nangsha District, where most of the cases have appeared.

The Guangzhou government is sparing no effort to combat the situation, and is putting effective measures into place. For example, they are checking residences and offices to ensure that there is no still water anywhere, as these even a puddle can be a breeding ground for dengue musquitos.

Symptoms of dengue fever include headaches, rashes, lethargy, joint and bone pain.
