St. Martin on dengue alert
The DailyHerald.com is reporting:
MARIGOT--A leading epidemiologist on Friday described the rate of suspected or confirmed dengue infections on the French side as "just below the threshold for an epidemic," as a gradual increase of suspected cases has been recorded during the past three weeks.
A total of 42 suspected cases were registered for the third week of October and 20 of these were confirmed as dengue. The epidemic threshold is around 25 confirmed cases per week, it was noted. Figures for St. Barths were significantly higher in October.
