JAKARTA - More than 2,000 people in Indonesia's capital Jakarta have been diagnosed with dengue fever in January this year, with one person confirmed killed by the mosquito-borne disease, a health official said.

Ms Widyastuti said that the three areas with the highest prevalence of dengue were West Jakarta, East Jakarta and South Jakarta. To stop the disease from spreading further, she urged residents to actively check for mosquito larvae nests, while the agency would deploy larvae controllers to households as part of a government-sponsored mosquito nest eradication campaign programme.
