Dengue fever outbreak prompts states of emergency in three counties
Original: Dengue fever outbreak triggers states of emergency in 3 southern counties
Three southern counties have declared states of emergency in response to a dengue fever outbreak. The declarations allow local authorities to mobilise resources for mosquito control, medical response and public health warnings. Details on the number of infections, the affected counties and any hospitalisations have not yet been released, and health officials are expected to issue further guidance as the situation develops.
Why now: A dengue fever outbreak severe enough to trigger emergency declarations is an unusual public health event drawing attention to the spread of mosquito-borne disease.
