Dengue cases up 36% in 2024, with mid-year surge 'largely subdued'
The Straits Times
|January 09, 2025
There were more than 13,600 cases of dengue locally in 2024, an increase of over 36 per cent from the year before.
According to the latest statistics on the National Environment Agency's (NEA) website, there were 9,949 cases in 2023.
Though there was an increase in dengue cases, NEA said Project Wolbachia, along with "strong and sustained community vigilance" against breeding, likely helped to prevent large outbreak clusters. The mid-year surge in dengue cases was also "largely subdued".
"This was despite a high baseline of dengue cases, low population immunity, and higher mosquito population in some areas," said the agency.
