During the week, 23 dengue fever outbreaks were recorded in 19 districts, towns and cities, including 3 outbreaks in Bac Tu Liem; 2 outbreaks each in Phuc Tho and Thanh Oai; and 1 outbreak each in Cau Giay, Chuong My, Dan Phuong, Dong Da, Hoai Duc, Hoan Kiem, Hoang Mai, Long Bien, Nam Tu Liem, Quoc Oai, Son Tay, Tay Ho, Thach That, Thanh Tri, Thanh Xuan and Thuong Tin. In 2024, 165 outbreaks were recorded, with 32 outbreaks still active.
Over the past week, the Hanoi CDC has coordinated with relevant units to monitor, investigate, and handle epidemics in areas with cases and outbreaks. At the same time, the units have ensured environmental sanitation and disease prevention for flooded areas due to heavy rains in Nam Tu Liem, Soc Son, Ba Dinh, Dan Phuong, Thuong Tin, Me Linh, Tay Ho, Hoan Kiem, and Thanh Tri.
According to the Hanoi CDC, the peak period of dengue fever in Hanoi (September to November) has now begun, with complex and unpredictable weather conditions combined with heavy rain creating favorable conditions for mosquitoes to transmit dengue fever.
Monitoring results at some outbreaks still recorded insect indexes exceeding the risk threshold, predicting that the number of cases will continue to increase in the coming time.
Next week, Hanoi CDC will continue to monitor the dengue fever outbreak areas in Quat Dong (Thuong Tin), Phung Xa (Thach That), Khuong Dinh (Thanh Xuan), Thuong Cat (Bac Tu Liem), Tan Hoi (Dan Phuong), Nhat Tan (Tay Ho), Hang Bot (Dong Da), My Hung (Thanh Oai), Hop Dong (Chuong My).
Health centers of districts, towns and cities shall promptly and effectively handle dengue fever cases and outbreaks, especially in outbreak areas with many patients; continue to implement disease prevention and control measures, ensure environmental hygiene in high-risk areas and areas affected by floods.
Along with that, the Health Center coordinates with departments and organizations to support and guide people to practice personal hygiene, environmental hygiene, and house hygiene immediately after the water recedes (clean the environment as the water recedes); organize spraying of chemicals to kill disease-carrying insects in high-risk areas after cleaning the environment.
In addition, units closely monitor and promptly detect cases and outbreaks of infectious diseases occurring during and after floods for timely handling such as dengue fever, diarrhea, pink eye, flu, cholera, typhoid, etc.
In addition, units strengthen communication work, provide timely and complete information on the epidemic situation, and measures to prevent some diseases such as dengue fever, whooping cough, measles, hand, foot and mouth disease, etc. For diseases with vaccines, people are advised to proactively get vaccinated fully and on schedule according to the instructions of the health sector.
