KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Dengue cases in all states have recorded a drop of between 20 and 94% this year compared to last year, says Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba.

From January to Aug 6, 2021, a total of 16,565 dengue cases were reported compared to 63,988 in the same period in 2020, which is a reduction of 47,423 cases or 74.1%.

"The number of deaths due to dengue till today stands at 10, compared to 106 in the same period last year, a reduction of 96 deaths ,” he said in a statement on Saturday . He explained that things would be more complicated if the country faced another public health threat like dengue as that would put additional pressure on health frontliners.
