"Singapore says it is facing a dengue "emergency" as it grapples with an
outbreak of the seasonal disease that has come unusually early this year.
The Southeast Asian city-state has already exceeded 11,000 cases, which is far
beyond the 5,258 it reported throughout 2021, and that was before June 1, when
its peak dengue season traditionally begins.
Experts are warning that it's a grim figure not only for Singapore, whose
tropical climate is a natural breeding ground for the
Aedes mosquitoes that
carry the virus, but also for the rest of the world. That's because changes in
the global climate mean such outbreaks are likely to become more common and
widespread in the coming years."
