Dr Richard Gair from Tropical Public Health Services says while there have been no new cases for several weeks in a separate outbreak at Innisfail, about five to six new cases are being confirmed each week in Cairns...

What you can do

It is important to protect yourself and your family when there is a dengue outbreak near your home. Taking the right steps can help stop the spread of dengue.
Empty the water from containers around your home and yard so dengue mosquitoes can't breed. This includes pot plant bases, tyres, buckets and kids toys.
Use insect repellent containing DEET or Picaridin, particularly during daylight hours when the dengue mosquito is most active.
Use plug-in mosquito repellent devices.
Spray insect surface spray around your home in dark places where the dengue mosquito likes to hide, such as under furniture, inside cupboards and behind curtains.
If you or anyone in your household has any symptoms of dengue apply insect repellent to stop the dengue mosquito biting, and see a doctor immediately.
