Dengue cases on the rise again after last month's drop

The number of new dengue fever cases has begun to rise again after a downturn last month.

There were 378 recorded last week, 72 more than in the previous seven days, according to figures from the National Environment Agency (NEA).

Experts have already warned that there could be a major epidemic this year due to the unusually large number of infections at the start of the year – traditionally a low period for such mosquito-borne infections.
