There are four dengue viruses- called Dengue Type 1, 2, 3, and 4.
In the first six months of 2019, nearly 50,000 people in 20 provinces/cities caught the disease and six of them died.However, the ministry has warned that the period from June to August with more rain and hot and humid weather – a favourable condition for mosquitoes to develop - was usually the peak of dengue outbreaks.The ministry also urged localities and people to be on the alert for the disease.The Children's Hospital in the southern province of Can Tho reported that it had received more than 270 cases of dengue fever since the beginning of this year and the number of cases had increased in the last two weeks.Ong Huy Thanh, vice director of the hospital, said dengue cases usually increased during the rainy season, so the hospital had prepared staff, equipment and medicine to respond.“The hospital will arrange beds to avoid the situation where two or three patients have to share a bed,” Thanh said.Doctor Nguyen Huynh Nhat Truong, acting head of the hospital’s dengue department, said when children have a high fever for two or three days, headache and skin rashes, they should be tested for dengue.“Late detection could make the children get blood spots, epistaxis, bleeding gums and vomit with blood, so treatment will be longer and more difficult,” Truong said.In the south-central city of Nha Trang, Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes will be released in 15 wards in the city, the municipal Health Department announced on Sunday.Earlier, Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes were released in eight hamlets of Vinh Luong Commune in the city and proved their effectiveness.Wolbachia is natural bacteria present in up to 60 per cent of insect species, including some mosquitoes. Worse, eight people died of the disease.The dengue fever season is peaking, with a sharp rise in incidence of the mosquito-borne disease in HCM City, the Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta and the south-east, according to preventive medicine centres.The 2020 national high school exam is scheduled to be held across the country on August 9 and 10.Widespread heavy rains are forecasted to hit the northern and central regions from August 1 to 3.“We’re about to go home” was something Vietnam Airlines’ flight attendants said repeatedly to Vietnamese citizens on a flight from Equatorial Guinea a couple of days ago.A special Vietnam Airlines flight brought 219 Vietnamese workers, 129 of whom have tested positive for COVID-19, home from Equatorial Guinea in central Africa on July 29.
