According to statistics from the Department of Health of Dong Thap province, by week 24, the locality had recorded 751 cases of dengue fever, an increase of 10.1% (69 cases) over the same period in 2024.
According to the assessment, the disease remains relatively stable under the 5-year average line and the epidemic warning line. However, from week 17, the number of cases tends to increase compared to the same period in 2024. This predicts that the disease will continue to increase in the upcoming rainy season.
The leader of the Dong Thap Department of Health informed that at this time, the provincial health sector is strengthening monitoring, early detection of cases and timely handling to prevent the dengue fever from spreading.
Accordingly, regularly monitor Agency tungles and mosquitoes that transmit dengue fever to detect risk factors early, deploy Agency disease campaigns and organize spraying of epidemic-reducing chemicals according to regulations.
Dong Thap province also proactively ensures adequate materials, chemicals, and equipment to respond to timely epidemic handling and enhances communication to raise public awareness of participating in disease prevention.
In Tien Giang alone, the total accumulated cases from the beginning of 2025 to week 22 (June 1, 2025) increased by 6% compared to the same period in 2024, with 647 cases recorded. Experts say that climate change and unseasonal rains are factors that increase the risk of outbreaks this year.
To proactively prevent the epidemic, the Department of Health of Tien Giang province has requested People's Committees at all levels to resolutely direct the campaign to destroy the impact of vulture in households, strengthen inspection and supervision at hot spots and strictly punish cases that do not comply with epidemic prevention regulations. The health sector will focus on closely monitoring, thoroughly handling outbreaks, ensuring effective treatment, and minimizing the number of deaths.
Previously, at the rally in response to the 15th ASEAN Diabetes Day, the Tien Giang Department of Health called on each citizen to spend 10-15 minutes a week cleaning up their place of residence and work, not leaving water to accumulate, creating an environment for mosquitoes to breed. This is the simplest, most effective and practical measure.
According to statistics from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) of Can Tho City, from the beginning of 2025 to now, the city has recorded 280 cases of dengue fever. The number of cases is concentrated in the districts/counties: Ninh Kieu (71 cases), Binh Thuy (53 cases), Phong Dien (43 cases), Thot Not (28 cases)...
Can Tho City's health sector is synchronously implementing solutions to prevent and control dengue fever epidemics during the peak months of June and July 2025.
The CDC of Can Tho City recommends that it is currently the peak of the dengue fever epidemic season, the epidemic is at risk of breaking out and becoming complicated if people are not proactive and actively implementing preventive and control measures. In addition to the efforts of the health sector and authorities at all levels, to prevent diseases for themselves, their families and people around them, the health sector strongly recommends that people take disease prevention measures.
