#SGDengueUpdate It’s the third consecutive week with less than 300 weekly dengue cases. However, the Aedes mosquito population increased by 16% in Nov, compared to in Oct. There is also a 40% increase in mosquito breeding in residences.

Let’s stay alert and do our part to reduce the Aedes mosquito population, by doing the #MozzieWipeout at least once a week. If you’re living in a dengue cluster area, use mosquito repellent regularly to protect yourself and your loved ones. Learn more: go.gov.sg/mozzieproof
#SGDengueUpdate As of 17 Dec 2020, there have been 34,844 reported dengue cases this year, with 228 cases reported last week. While NEA has closed about 98% of the dengue clusters notified since the beginning of 2020, there are still over 230 residential areas with high Aedes aegypti mosquito population currently.
 
So let’s stay vigilant and keep up our #DenguePrevention efforts. If you’re planning to go for a staycation, don’t forget to do the #MozzieWipeout first! Learn more: go.gov.sg/mozzieproof
#SGDengueUpdate 236 dengue cases were reported in the week ending 19 Dec. Whilst the weekly cases number is less than 300, a figure of 200 to 300 is still relatively high for this time of the year.

The annual National Dengue Prevention Campaign was launched today, to rally everyone to take urgent action to prevent mosquito breeding and a possible surge in dengue cases, amidst the continued high Aedes aegypti mosquito population, and higher circulation of less common Dengue virus serotypes.

The fight against dengue involves all of us. Let’s step up dengue prevention by doing the #MozzieWipeout regularly. go.gov.sg/mozzieproof
#SGDengueUpdate Over 2,700 dengue cases have been reported in 2021. Increasing Aedes aegypti mosquito population, and higher circulation of less common Dengue virus serotypes 3 and 4 to which we have lower population immunity, contribute to higher risk of dengue transmission. While our #NEAOfficers continue to conduct targeted inspections at areas with higher mosquito population, and step up operations at dengue cluster areas, residents should do the #MozzieWipeout regularly to #BLOCKDengue. https://go.gov.sg/nea-dengue-1jun2021
Don’t forget to check on the unused plant pots you may have lying around. These pots are hotbeds for mosquito breeding, and all that mosquitoes need is a 20 cent-sized drop of water to breed.

Here’s a ‘Check and Protect’ checklist for your thorough #MozzieWipeout to #BLOCKDengue today: https://go.gov.sg/dengue-checklist
Have you emptied out your flower pot plates after watering your plants today? These plates tend to collect water, and can become mosquito breeding habitats if left unattended. Be sure to add emptying out the flower pot plates to your “To-do List” after watering your plants! Here’s a checklist for a thorough #MozzieWipeout: https://go.gov.sg/dengue-checklist
Sudden rain showers are common in Singapore, so if you leave your pails or plant pots where they can collect water, do pay extra attention and drain these containers if they have collected any water.
Here’s a checklist for a thorough #MozzieWipeout: https://go.gov.sg/dengue-checklist
Don’t forget to clear any water collected in containers in your toilets as these can become hotspots for mosquito breeding. By turning over these containers and wiping dry their rims, we will greatly reduce the chances of mosquito breeding in stagnant water found in our homes.
