If you live in a country affected by #dengue and other arboviral diseases, you can lower your risk by using:
✅ mosquito repellents
✅ long-sleeved clothes
✅ mosquito nets when sleeping during the day
✅ window screens
‼️ Remember to often drain, wash & scrub water storage containers
#Dengue is no longer a sporadic threat confined to the tropics. More than half the world's population live in areas at risk.
Reversing this trend demands urgent and coordinated action. That means:
- stronger surveillance for early detection;
- investing in innovative vector control strategies;
- equitable access to vaccines and care.
@WHO is committed to supporting countries reduce the risk posed by dengue.
In our new blog, we explore why, as millions of #dengue cases go undetected each year, better testing, stronger surveillance & investment in new tools are essential to tackle this rapidly growing global threat.🦟🌍
