Social and environmental factors including:
RISK FACTOR
 Increased urbanization (particularly of poor
populations lacking basic health services)
IDENTIFICATION
 Expansion of international travel and trade WHAT IS THE CAUSE?
 Climate change also may affect transmission, as
dengue mosquitoes reproduce more quickly and
bite more frequently at higher temperatures

The common misconception is we could only get

bitten by Dengue-carrying mosquitoes outdoors,
particularly in dirty places. Fact is, these insects can
breed indoor and outdoor—wherever there is stagnant
water. If you’re stocking up on water—which is the
case in places where there’s water interruption—make
sure your containers are covered. It’s also important to
keep the canals around your homes clean.

 The DOH renewed its call to the public to prevent

dengue by implementing the enhanced 4-

 Search and destroy mosquito-breeding sites

 Self-protection measures like wearing long pants
and long sleeved shirts and daily use of mosquito
repellent
 Seek early consultation
 Support fogging/spraying only in hotspot areas
where increase in cases is registered for two
consecutive weeks to prevent an impending
outbreak.
