" DENGUE FEVER remains a threat in Barbados with the number of cases soaring to 127.
Acting Chief Medical Officer, Elizabeth Ferdinand, confirmed yesterday that dengue fever was very much on the rise though there has just one death so far.
“Dengue fever remains a threat to everyone. The spiralling cases are a cause for concern,” she said.
Last week, Barbados recorded its first dengue death of the year when an 80-year-old Christ Church man succumbed to the viral illness.
Dr Ferdinand reiterated the call for Barbadians to stop the spread of mosquito breeding by keeping their premises clean and to cover water containers such as buckets, small plastic containers and drums or to dispose of these in a proper manner."
