SFH on dengue fever (with photos)

Following is the transcript of remarks made by the Secretary for Food and Health, Dr Ko Wing-man, after inspecting the implementation of anti-mosquito work at a construction site in Western District today (November 4):

Secretary for Food and Health: The Centre for Health Protection is very concerned about the recent occurrence of two local confirmed cases of dengue fever. Even a single local case of dengue fever is enough to prove that a certain population of mosquitoes are carrying the virus of dengue fever, therefore we have to continue our effort in mosquito control.

(Please also refer to the Chinese portion of the transcript.)
