Chikungunya: 17 Cases, Including 3 Active, Since the Beginning of the Year

Chikungunya prevention efforts are focused on vector density, a crucial factor in curbing the spread of the virus. Health authorities are closely monitoring this situation. Dr. Fazil Khodabocus stated, "The virology department is currently working on a report to assess mosquito density across the country." He noted that the Breteau Index, which measures the presence of larval breeding sites, remains high in certain areas, thereby increasing the risk of transmission.

Out of the 17 cases reported, 3 are currently active.
