                        Health officials confirm spread of dengue in Pa Enua
                        Thursday August 06, 2020 Written by Losirene Lacanivalu Published in Health

                        Health ministry Te Marae Ora is on high alert after confirming the tentative diagnosis of dengue fever cases on Pukapuka and Aitutaki – despite extensive attempts to protect the outer islands from the mosquito-borne disease.

                        Numbers of dengue cases in Rarotonga are continuing to decline, the ministry says, but there have been cases this year on two of the outer islands.

                        Only seven cases were reported in July, after a peak of 73 reported cases in March this year.

                        There were 369 dengue cases in Cook Islands between February 27 last year and July 27 this year, either medically diagnosed as probable cases, or confirmed by off-shore blood-testing.

                        Seventy-two people have been admitted to hospital for dengue type 1 or 2 cases. Seven of the cases were reported in Aitutaki, one in Pukapuka, and all the rest were in Rarotonga.

                        Te Marae Ora said that it was likely the virus was introduced to Pukapuka in May, when 13 people arrived by boat and plane on the island 1300 north-west of Rarotonga.

                        The Island Administration’s executive officer Pio Ravarua had earlier insisted the case was a false alarm – but yesterday, Te Marae Ora confirmed that, sadly, dengue had indeed reached the island...

                          Wednesday September 09, 2020 Written by Losirene Lacanivalu Published in Health

                          Pukapuka residents are being urged to continue eradicating mosquito breeding and resting sites after another confirmed type two dengue case on the island.

                          Te Marae Ora’s dengue report has revealed there is a second dengue serotype two virus case (DenV-2) on Pukapuka.

                          There have been 373 probable and confirmed cases reported in Cook Islands between February last year and September 2 this year, with eight of those cases in the Pa Enua.

                          McKay said they are waiting for the blood test results from New Zealand on the probable cases on the northern group island...
