Dengue hotspots .........
Dengue hotspots .........
Tampines is now the Dengue capital of Singapore, with the issue arising around the areas where MRT lines are under construction.
Are the building sites monitored as closely as the living areas?
I have friends who have been busted 3 times by the Dengue Police.

Yes construction sites are heavily monitored. Fines can go up to a whooping thousands of dollars.Barnsley wrote:Tampines is now the Dengue capital of Singapore, with the issue arising around the areas where MRT lines are under construction.

My son is heading to the hospital at the moment, two days of erratic temps and aching joints, but no sniffles or flu symptoms. Our area has had some dengue hot spots recently as well, so we are keeping our fingers crossed.

JR8, update on KC. Just a bad bug. He doesn't usually get it too bad but this time it whacked him for the better part of a week. But he back to his old schedule again and is officially a short-timer. Finished his NS in 12 more days. He rather happy to say the least.

As we have feared, first dengue fatality in Singapore. Just released one hour ago so no info yet. I wonder if it is the hemorrhagic version.
And blimey! 8000 cases! That's more than 2011 And 2012 totals combined at this half of the year alone.
