Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever Outbreack
BELMOPAN, Belize -- July 21, 2009. There’s a Dengue outbreak in the Cayo District. That’s what the Ministry of Health says after 114 cases appeared in that western district between May fourth and July fourteenth. And we don’t say “outbreak” casually. According to the Ministry, the spike in reported cases exceeds the expected number for this time of year. Couple that with the fact that these cases are all within the Cayo district and all that makes it into a full-fledged Dengue Outbreak.
