Florida counties declare emergencies amid dengue rise
Original: Florida counties declare local emergencies as dengue cases rise
Several Florida counties have declared local states of emergency as dengue fever cases increase. The declarations allow officials to ramp up mosquito control measures and public health responses. Dengue, transmitted by mosquitoes, is uncommon in the continental United States, so a rise in locally acquired cases is drawing attention from residents and health authorities alike.
Why now: A spike in dengue cases, a disease rarely transmitted locally in the US, has prompted emergency declarations that raise public health concerns.
